Hi, searched this forum but seem can’t to find anyone with the exact same problem - recently my Super Gemini has some very strange behaviour…When I start it up it is fine for a minute or so then gradually “degrades” eg distorted sounds, random sounds (not anything like the patch), then sometimes it goes into a crazy light show, eg random lights flashing rapidly.

I’m on the latest firmware and have contacted support - just checking if anyone else has the same problem?! I bought mine almost exactly 2 years ago.

Edit: just to add to this, it’s not only the audio but the midi messages to my DAW go nuts as well!

This was a known problem with early units I believe. UDO sent out parts to fix this and hopefully UDO support can sort you man.

Edit: you could open the unit and check all the ribbon cables, I believe ferrite rings were part of the solution.

Ah, excellent thanks Jonah! Will see what support come back with. Seems like I may have dodged a bullet up until now then…
