If it becomes a real problem for you, there is an internal jumper setting which allows the unit to power on as soon as it's plugged in, bypassing the switches. Check out the manual/website and you'll find all the details -- JB
Yeah, I know about the jumper setting. it seems really stupid the overall design of these units. They get incredibly HOT, they take forever to power on... if you get a dodgy power switch(2 of mine are horrible) and to top it off, you have to take the tops off each unit to update the firmware. Why they couldn't put the midi port on the back is beyond me.
