I have two of those TX802's - they are absolutely fantastic. Except that I believe I have discovered a little known firmware bug. When you use the individual outs, sometimes the patches going to a particular allocated output socket changes to another output randomly. For example, if you have a bass patch coming out of ind output no.1, and other sounds allocated to other ind outputs, occasionally you'll get another patch sound burst over the top of that ind output channel - even if you've restricted the polyphony allocation on all the outputs to only 1 (monophonic). We had this trouble because we were using the TX as an all-in-one sound module running bass, synth sounds, synth lead, and a single sound out for a vocoder feed all on separate outs, and occasionally the vocoder feed synth sound would burst through one of the other outputs really loud and totally mess up everything. Not good when you're playing live. The only way to fix it was to switch it off and then back on again - again, not very good during a live performance. It has the latest firmware, too.
