Omar: i have never used that module you are referring to but i have used quite a lot of modules with performance modes for multi channel midi control.And you probably know everything i can tell you but let me try and explain my opinion.First i think that maybe what you hear as a strange e,q, could be that 2 parts of the 16 sounds you have available for one performance , could be assigned to the same midi channel and then you would have 2 voices responding to the same note thus producing a phasing effect that sometimes can make the sound thin. the other thing is that systems with that kind of performances will usually not work as a general midi module because the effects will probably be in a different algorythm. I can imagine that that module should have a general midi bank of sounds and a general midi performance also. the thing would be to find it and to be sure that you know the way to put it back in that mode when things start going crazy. I don't think the unit is damaged because i've had very old stuff and never i've had any problem with any for years. good luck.

I'm using the module from a performance designed specificly for sequencing, which means that all the parts are dry and have no effects or e q's. However, I'm getting some kind of e q or effect on midi tracks 1-8 and track 10 when I have a project open. I took the module in for repair, and the tech can't find anything wrong with it, so I'm guessing that the issue now lies with Sonar here on my system. This problem just started recently and suddenly, and at first, Gord and I both thought that the issue was with the module. That doesn't appear to be the case, however. Does anyone happen to have a contact number for Sonar? I went to their site and could find no phone numbers. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Omar Binno
