Well unit is back from Fractal (Tues. 1/19) - Hooked it up and all seemed well for about an hour of play time. Okay fingers still crossed. Got a bit busy so didn't get back till this morning (Thur. 1/21) - Turn unit on, press one footswitch, and now all footswitches are frozen again (no FC6 connected). Power cycle and switches are back - But for how long (it's 9:15 AM?) - (It's now 9:21AM) just been using the looper, switching back and forth Record, Play, Erase hit Stop and all footswitches are frozen again. It,s now 9:28AM tried another Power Cycle and unit opens on main layout, hit one switch and footswitches are frozen again. Right away try another Power Cycle and footswitches are working again, but for how long is anybody's guess (Never mind guessing it's 9:35Am and we are frozen again). I do so love the sounds I'm getting with the FM3 but I don't see how I can rely on this unit ever again. Just to be clear, all other functions (with and without the editor open) work perfectly, it's only the footswitches that are affected. Very sad camper here I feel completely screwed, to have this happen after a year on the waiting list is just awful!
