I personally know of no synthesizer out there without some 
very nasty bugs. The only time I've had a nasty program wipe
on the A6 was due to an odd power surge, which knocked out
half a memory card. This compares pleasantly to my experience
compared to, say, the Yamaha A3000, which in early releases
was lovely at trashing your settings completely.

I wish Numark would actually put a little bugfix effort into
their cash cow though. There's some odd stupid bugs on the A6
that could be easily fixed with effort. I understand though:
hardware synths just ain't the trend these days. It's all 
about plugins, yep. Which in my experience crash far more than
any hardware synth. Oh wel.
