I think my arpeggiator and delay clocks are malfunctioning but not sure

Over the last few months I keep running into situations where I get confused by the way the Matriarch is behaving but I've
been assuming it's because I'm new to the semi-modular world and I'm just screwing something up.

One problem is with the arp: it often just quits working. I'll use it for a bit, disable it, then when I try to re-enable it it doesn't work (the tempo LED stops blinking). The other problem is the delay: sometimes when I run it in synch mode I get all kinds of nasty sounds that I never get when *not* using synch mode.

I find that if I power-cycle the Matriarch without changing any settings my problems with the arp and delay go away. I can't think of why a power cycle would fix the problem unless the Matriatch is faulty. So I don't think it's an error on my part. Plus, I think both of these issues are fundamentally linked to the arp clock (right?).

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to debug these issues? I have the latest firmware installed.

Thanks,
