Zyklon-------- Mine has locked up with ver 1.3 as well, but only once (in three months) since Allans (store in melbourne) gave me a new unit (the third one I've been through!). This bug has been a very random thing, though it seems to occur more out of the job system grid for me, more like when I'm twiddling knobs while recording, though sometimes when its just playing back as well. I think I mentioned it in my earlier review, when I took this machine into Yamaha Headquarters, the tech there expected me to get it to freeze in front of him. I don't think it's that sort of action-specific bug, just one that pops up when it's least expected (and usually thats when I have forgotten to save the last hours work! bitch!).
When I look at the bugs fix list for the MPC2000 at Protolab site, I actually reckon the SU700 is in quite a healthy state. There's something like 10-20 bugs that existed in earlier versions. I guess the SU700 lock-virus is quite a critical one though, especially when it comes to live performance. So I agree we need to make a conscious effort to note what we were doing when she freezes next time! Perhaps taking it to sampler Pump at the Servo (gas station)
P.s: This Sampler kicks arse otherwise. So smooth to use, so well laid out and all functions easily accessible. Imaginative and yet organized intergration of sampling, mixing, effects, synthesis and sequencing with a difference. Everyone I know who comes across it, is consistently blown away by its immediacy and quality, while still finding it fun to use in the process.
4, not 5 for obvious reasons.
p.p.s: a3000 ver.2 for sale in classifieds
