[A6] Andro #3 issues

[Robert van der Kamp]

Hi all,

I'm currently testing my third Andro (the other two were 
returned to the shop), and found some issues that I'd like 
to discuss. It's running the latest OS, already installed 
by the factory. It looks brandnew, so no complaints in that 
department. Here we go:


1. The FX chip was switched off and on again (so it seemed) 
everytime I changed an fx parameter value. For example, 
when changing the reverb decay time, I got a lot of crackle 
and distortion. Furthermore, when changing the value with 
the softknob, the fx chip was always switched off. It 
needed an extra bump with the Inc or Dec button to switch 
on again.

Very weird. I did a soft reset that cured all of these 
problems, but I don't trust it really. Should I hard reset 
the andro?


2. Yesterday, when I tweaked a sound using FX reverb, the 
reverb was suddenly switched off, although all parameters 
suggested it should work. Didn't tweak any FX param at that 
time. Comparing the tweaked sound with the original enabled 
the FX again in the original sound, but it got disabled 
again in my tweaked version. 

What did I do to get this?


3. The LCD screen shows parts of the last letter of long 
patch names when browsing through the presets. It's not 
properly erased. 

Is this a common problem?


4. Some of the buttons require repeated pressing to work. 
After that, they seem to work normal. I *guess* this is 
because these buttons were pressed for the first time ever, 
but maybe the problem will reappear?


5. My biggest worry: sometimes while tweaking and playing a 
sound, it takes about 5 seconds for the LCD screen to show 
the correct page when turning a knob of another module. 
Like the Andro's CPU is really busy. 

I can't remember this behavior from the previous two models. 
Is this a common problem?


Thanks,
Robert
