Broken midi sync?

Hi guys.
My NL3 has got a new and strange behavior. It reads extern midi clock in LFO and in master clock settings. But as soon as i lock the arpeggiator to the incoming midi clock, it stops.
Anyone met this behavior?
Is there a cheap way to solve it?

Hi Per,

I never use the NL3 Arpeggiator much, but I know it has some difficulties. As it concerns an abandoned synth I don't think Åsögatan crew will take some time to straighten things out, but knowing you live around the corner (or did you move?) you can make a sandwich board reading REPAIR NOW! and in your spare time you could stand in front of the building, only I'm sure they will bring you a cup of coffee every they Smile

I will try this week to make some time to try it.
What Midi clock source are you using?

Very funny Wout, my first big smile today. My bad feelings for Clavia grew today when I realized that it was my third breakdown. My micromodular did become monophonic (change mother board, but I did not) and I just got my G2 from the repair guy (change mother board, paid a lot) and now this.
I took a walk in the rain. Afterwards, I could start it up, actually. But not multi timbral arpeggio, as it is intend to produce.
And I have fed it all the time with good fresh midi clock from the Korg Electribe, through a good 1 in 9 out midi through box.
Strange thing with faults that appear and than disappear again.
During the one month repair time I have begun using arpeggiators instead of the G2, and gets frustrated as it refuse to start.
Hope, by the way, that everthing is OK with you and your family. We will take a week off and go to the island, for walks in the rain along the shore.
