Subject:Re: CX-3 upgrade

Johan,

Glad to hear that the upgrade fixed your problems. Most likely, it was the M00111500 / S00111400 . You can find out more about the upgrade at my CloneWheel site at http://music.ashbysolutions.com/clonewheel. Specific information on the firmware is at http://music.ashbysolutions.com/clonewheel/cx-3bug.html.

Regards,

-BW
