    Ok, so I've picked myself up a shiny new R2. Does everything I expect it to and then some.

    Reasons I picked up an M11x was

    1) Lightweight
    2) Powerful
    3) LIGHTS

    Yes I said lights. I'm a DJ by profession. Its quite dark in the DJ booth. I need to see in the dark. Anyway I digress...

    The Problem:

    I've done my research and trolled around. The software I use is called "Scratch Live" developed by "Serato" and hardware made by "Rane". They have found an issue where the new Core i series chipsets don't get along with the R2's A04 BIOS.

    http://www.rane.com/sl2.html#gpm1_2 <---Feature comparison. I'm using the "SL1"

    The device I'm using is a USB 1.1 low latency device. This past Saturday I was in the middle of my set and CRASH.

    I guess my question is, will there be an A05 revision or am I just screwed?
