[A6] Just recieved my new andromeda, appears to be a lemon

[Shawn O.]

yeah, was reading the tips and tricks website and tried that before I 
got the below message and figured it out,.. I wrote over the effected 
patch and all is fine and dandy now, voices stay in tune without temp or 
background tuning on after a good 15 minute warm up and room temp around 
85f, tomorrow ill have to take it upstairs and hook it up in the studio 
to give it the midi test =c)

Thanks all who replied with helpfull info's

Pay attention to which bank the corrupt patch is in - if it is in the user bank, then you'll have to power up while holding down SB#3. This completely resets the user RAM, you'll lose all the user patches and mixes.
