Thanks Dieter...I'll need to check what the ERM Midiclock is sending when it is running, since this seems to light up the reset LED and is perhaps interfering with the reset message that the box sends to the A190-4. However, when the clock isn't running and I try to send a reset message from the ERM Midiclock to the A190-4, nothing happens.
I'll follow up with ERM first to determine what messages are being sent in active and non-active modes.

The Reset output of the A-190-4 is controlled by Midi Start/Stop messages.
These messages have to be transmitted to the A-190-4. Otherwise the Reset
will not react. Details in the A-190-4 user's manual.
