Gearslutz.com - View Single Post - Craigslist, ER1, did I get sold a piece, or am I stupid?

Hi all,

I searched all around for my answers, but still to no avail...can I ask two questions?

I bought an ER-1 from someone off Craigslist, and I think it is broken. When I press the accent or part 4 buttons during playback, the led scrolls the word 'electribe' and restarts....WTF???? Its also happened a couple times randomly, but every time I hit those buttons, only during playback, it shuts off. This has to be a problem, but I'm confused as to why these buttons do it so consistently. Does anyone know ANY context in which the ER1 scrolls its own name on the LED?

Second, if this thing isn't broken, I must be missing something. I can't get Logic to serve as a tempo/snyc master to the ER-1. Can anyone here treat me like an idiot please and just type the 3 or so things you need to do to get it working, just so I can make sure that I am not missing something?

So far, I:

Set the midi sync on the ER1 to external

Set two things in Logic - transmit MIDI clock, and transmit MIDI time code.
