Doug Robinson Posted March 29, 2001 Share Posted March 29, 2001 This is certainly my week for technical problems, and of course, I'm right in the middle of my first filmscore and time is of the essence. Both of my Roland MC50 sequencers have begun to act flakey--one is worse than the other, but the good one now saves to floppy about 50% of the time, and wipes out the song the other 50%. Is there anyone else out there who uses one of these? Have you ever had a situation like I'm describing: you go to save your song, it whirs and clicks...then the screen just says "MC50" and the thing reboots without your song in the memory anymore? Any suggestions? Thanks. Doug Robinson www.dougrobinson.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Hughes Posted March 29, 2001 Share Posted March 29, 2001 Hey Doug, I had a similar problem with my MC50. One of the solder joint where the AC adapter jack was soldered to the circuit board came loose (the repair guy said that they used bad solder at the factory). For about a week it acted like yours is acting (although I don't recall the screen saying "MC50", but this was about 6 years ago), and then it just died completely. The guy resoldered the joint and everything was fine. My guess is that maybe the vibrations from the disk drive are enough to temporarily shake the connection loose.

Doug Robinson Posted March 30, 2001 Author Share Posted March 30, 2001 Jonathan-- You're not only a terrific musician and producer, you help out in a pinch! Great to hear from you, and I'll forward your post to the repair guy immediately, Thanks. And I hope I remembered to tell you how much I've enjoyed your last two CDs.
