My first yamaha su700 has some glitchy issues. Some of the knobs need replacement....and the touch strip glitches out....and after it is on for a bit, the switch track buttons stop working until i go into the midi sync settings , change something and then go out...which means i have to stop it mid performance.
The eprom is 1.00 so that could be it...but i would like to know if anyone could repair this kind of gear.
