Muse 'frozen'?

[kevinplaystheblues]

I've just had my muse freeze up twice in about an hour.

I've just got it beside my desk and noodle on it as a fidget spinner of sorts as I work - so not sure how long its taken to freeze up.

Almost nothing is responsive, menu, audio output all frozen up.
I can press the buttons outside the programmer area and see the LEDs respond, but all buttons within programmer are also frozen.

It's happened on the same patch both times - going to move that now and see if that changes anything. I have a USB connected that I will also try later as part of cause elimination, but then I am all out of ideas.

Anyeone else?

I believe I've narrowed this down to rebooting my PC with the Muse connected (and maybe active?) via USB midi. I don't normally like to use USB for midi but I have the keyboard in a temp location that makes USB the pragmatic option til it goes back into my synth rack.

The issue is quite possibly specific to something I have at the other end of the USB cable (PC, motherboard, hub, whatever), but I thought I'd loop back in case anyone else comes here with the same issue looking for a cause.

I think you are correct. I had a lockup that the midi panic button didn't resolve. I was hooked to an outboard sequencer where I was making connections while powered up. I rebooted and was ok.

I had the same happening, Muse freezing up and it even started screaming. I connected the Muse via USB to the PC, with the difference that both were already running.
The Muse just doesn't like USB, i think.. the only way out was to power the Muse down, it was completely unresponsive.
In my opinion there are way too many bugs with this wonderful sounding synth, we urgently need fresh and more stable firmware.
