Hi Florian,

Thank you for your answer. I normally have a 4-in-6-out MIDI interface in
the loop, but I have of course tried going directly from keyboard to MCV4. I
don't think I've ever even used the MIDI through connector on the MCV4 and
I'm certain I have never connected it to Keyboard MIDI in.

I normally use a Roland JP-8000 as a controller and I've also tried with an
MC-303 groovebox which I know has worked before. I have yet to try with a
D-70 that is collecting dust in a gig bag but I'm fairly sure what the
outcome will be.

I guess I'm mostly just voicing my frustration, perhaps mixed with a small
hope that this might be something really simple like a memory back up
battery running low or something.

Cheers,
Silas
