I checked all my presets meanwhile with the new EGR MATRIX AUTO mode.
This check calmed me down a bit. The audible EGR scanner noise is reduced to minimal amounts with many presets in this mode, and then hardly audible. And for the remaining presets with low cutoffs (deep basses and the like) it is reduced to very short sizzle sounds, which do not nearly disturb as much as the continous sizzle flow while turning the knob in EGR MATRIX ON mode did before.
In EGR AUTO mode, pressing a button (attack, decay etc.) WHILE moving the EGR value knob is not as comfortably done with one hand as choosing the button and turning the value knob separately, but it is manageable.
I'm still disappointed that I did not receive the full upgrade, and still think that it should have been done exactly as written in my package letter from the start, without hesitating and misleading discussion, and at price maybe not equal, but at least remotely(!) comparable with that in the USA.
I close my LP case here, because I'm not enthusiastic about sending in the device a second time, paying a second considerable amount of money similar to the first, just for the lack of correct customer information and customer care in this case.
After the first disappointment with cool head I judge: it's just a lost chance, not a real desaster, so I try to make the best of what I got ...
(sighh...)
