Hi all,
I recently bought a 707 and have had a bit of time lately to have a
good play around with it. I've noticed is has problem with the
internal memory in that it wont keep my patterns for very long (i dont
know how long exactly.. it'll keep them for 10 minutes but certainly
not 10 hours). Now, the weird part is.. when i switch the machine on
its filled with 'hits' thats is to say that all instruments are being
played at the same time and the grid is 'full'. It clears fine and i
can get on with programming it but like i say it wont keep the
patterns. I found out how to reset the unit and it went back to the
default patterns and i thought that would be the end of it but yet
again after some hours of being turned off, turning it back on the
grid is 'full' again. I'd have thought if the internal battery was
done then it'd just keep resetting itself back to the default rather
than having this weird tendency to fill up the grid with every hit
though maybe the weak battery is corrunpting the memory I've really
no idea.. the first dealings i've had with this machine is when i
bought it.. perhaps this is a common problem when the internal battery
dies

Any help you guys could give me would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Ciaran.

P.S. i HAVE put fresh batteries in the back since buying it ;)
