At first this made me think that there was something wrong with mine, but apparently Crumar just leave them empty for us to configure ourselves (I thought this was a bit weird and it left me a bit confused for a couple of minutes). They were VERY easy to program however, just like the radio stations on your car, set the drawbars how you like them and push/hold the preset button you want to save this to... and done.

I confirm that those were blank on mine as well. Not really a problem, of course, who cared for the original Hammond presets, anyway?

I'm still investigating this to see if I have a problem with the wiring here in my studio (I had a similar problem with my new Kronos when I plugged it into my audio interface on my computer to do some recording).

I've had a few ground problems here as well, even if my ground has been removed months ago.
The first, quite odd, occurs regularly when I plug the instrument into my MacBook Pro via USB: the Mac (which, for those who doesn't know that already, has a metal body) gets always somehow charged up, everytime I touch it I get a mild shock. Nothing too harsh, but it's odd. The problem never occurs if I use my external mt4 midi interface to connect the instrument (as you may guess, I'm always using that now…).

The second one happened only once, a couple of days ago, while rehearsing: there was a constant background hum into the PA when the instrument was connected. Could have been a PA problem, tough (the voice mics had no problem there, but they aren't powered up separately)…Yep, that rehearsing venue is so out of the common that I shouldn't probably even try to hypothesize where a problem lies (let's just say it's a basement with a lot of humidity…there was actual water on the floor last week!).
