I think the biggy add here is the FAS Boost...

Yes, if you brick the unit:

1) Turn it off
2) Press the Shift Key
3) Turn it on
4) Release the Shift Key
5) Page to the Firmware Screen.
6) Press <ENTER>

In Fractal-Bot:

1) Hold the Control Key and click on "Select Device"
2) Select Utility
3) Set your MIDI Buffer Delay to at least 20mS
4) Select the file
5) Download.

That should fix you up.

Awesome support via firmware as usual. No other company comes close.

Now if I just need the hardware to go with the new firmware.
