Too many BUGs still

Post by Soupdragon » Wed May 28, 2025 8:19 am

I am still getting various bugs and have had them since it arrived and this is still not resolved yet and have had no help.
Some buttons have got stuck like my clock button and you can’t turn them off. I have had full freezes too and had to reboot Muse. The main issue which is really getting me down is this continuous stuck sound that just stays on even with all the sliders, everything off or turned to zero. It keeps on sounding when you change patches/ banks and won’t go away unless i do a hard reboot. I thought it had fixed itself for awhile but now it’s doing at again.
The disc mode is also staying on when disconnecting usb from my computer, even though the latest firmware was supposed to fix this, it clearly hasn’t.

I also just watched Tim Shoebridge’s concerning video about the waveforms not being like they should be, but have no oscilloscope to test mine. Worth checking it out.

I love my MUSE but for this kind of money I expect it to work properly like all my other synths, you don’t get these kind of issues with Sequential or Korg! Even my cheap berhinger works perfectly compared to my MUSE.
I really expect this to be fixed before my warranty runs out in 6 months. New firmware is a must!

I mean they just released new firmware, with really significant fixes and enhancements. For me, it has opened up whole new frontiers to explore. So far, my instrument has been stable. For me, it is inspiring, even if the low registers of the waveforms have some extra harmonics. At the end of the day it's like any other instrument though, it is a series of compromises and has a character of its own. If I knew someone who owned a Stradivarius and they told me they hated how it sounded I'd tell them to sell it. I'm not calling the Muse a Stradivarius, but you get the point.
