Yeah, I really dislike the heat and humidity... It was even worse when one
year I couldn't even use my SuperNova because 3 of my knobs kept skipping
numbers.  As soon as Fall came around, those same knobs worked fine.  I try
to keep my studio Air Conditioned as much as possible, but sometimes that
causes even more problems because of condensation on metal parts inside the
synths.

Thanks for the pointers on the inside though.  I don't think I'm going to
attempt to open the A6 anytime this week, I might just wait till Fall and
see if the Up Button works normally again.
