Hi Doug, Haven't heard anything from you in a while. Doug, there isn't a piece of software in the world today that doesn't have a bug in it somewhere. Same with operating systems. Look at Microsoft. Constant service packs, upgrades, security fixes, and who knows what else? The MS guys are not dummies, it's just that everything has gotten so complex that no amount of Beta testing can unearth certain combinations of events that cause a system to misbehave. The same with Technics. I had my SD Card .inf file corrupted two times - and low and behold, Technics came up with update Version 1.5 to fix, among other things, occaisonal corruption of the .inf file. So, good friend, don't keep your head in the sand too long, closing your eyes to a problem will not make it go away. (No matter how philosophical you get). Regards, Walt

Keith, a system is just what it says it is, a system. Take the solar system for instance. What do you think that telescope guy was seeing when he was star gazing. Right! Observing and learning a system. Looking through his telescope, observing and learning how things moved and reacted he acquired knowledge of a system. The pope, however, saw the same system looking through the eyes of his ego and his infallibility. Guess he never read what the creator of the system said. He said that his people were perishing because of a lack of knowledge of him and his system of doing things.
Lets look at computer systems. Unix is one. Dos another. Flakey windows by good old Bill and Macintosh, good old Mac, the what you see is what you get system. I’m talking with you guys with my trusty old Mac and you are hearing me most likely on another system. Well ain’t that something! The reason we are here at this forum is because most of us use the same system to make music. Some are here to make waves. That’s OK! I enjoy playing with them and their waves.
There are other music making systems that make beautiful music also. As I choose Mac and others choose Windows so others choose the music system that works and sounds best for them. The one thing we all have in common is an operating system. We must learn our operating system. When we do, we have fun. When we don’t, we get frustrated and confused. Sort of like the telescope guy and the pope. One having fun looking at heaven and the other finding his way to hell by loping off the others head in anger. One gaining knowledge of the system and the other thinking it should be like he would like it to be.
I always have believed that attitude is the secret of life. A positive attitude or outlook always goes forward and reaps rewards. A negative attitude always drags a man downward. Personal responsibility is positive and shirking it is negative. One leads forward to success and the other finds reasons why he doesn’t have much success. As an example before us now, little critters. Bugs! Volume problems. Expression pedal problems. Some got problems and some don’t. Many with the same gear and the same everything. Some learn the system but others don’t and are convinced it’s the bugs. Kind of drives me buggy. Keith, as a grandpa also, you say you are still learning how and what to operate and that is your problem. That is not a problem, that is the way it should be. Mr. Telescope gained knowledge every day by this method. His problem was the holier than thou guy that wanted the system to be like he thought it should be. You say, unfortunately Technics doesn't provide enough system information for anybody to study and solve their own problems. Tell that to the telescope guy. Tell that to the man that made the light bulb, the airplane brothers, tell it to us guys that have learned the system. Using the Technics manuel only made the job easier and faster. It is a delight compaired to some.
Now Walt, nothing is perfect. I will admit technics has had bugs in new introductions. I will also say they have always corrected them. They are also not akin to detailing them with their fix. Most are minor some are not and many can’t tell the difference. I really think your problem is not a bug but that you want them to change their operating system to suit your way of doing things. Possibly a residue of old habits. As I said before many times, I have gotten disks from others, even from pro’s like Dennis Awe that had volume problems. With a little patience and experimentation I found my board was OK, the system had no bugs, the disk was as it should be but the guy that made it didn’t quite understand all he knew about it. Maybe just an oversight. In any event, it was a learning time well spent. With a wrong attitude it might have turned into a bug for you or even worse, by leading others to the impression that the keyboard had design problems. From what Bebop said, this influenced him to do what he did. There again, looking at this with a good attitude could be a great learning experience for him relative to people even if it cost him a few bucks. I know, awhile back I said I wasn’t going to say any more on this subject but I suppose this is a bug I might have.
Grandpa Doug
