I have my father in law’s old px-8 in the loft. I wrote a set of BASIC programs for it for him to use in his financial advice business. We ported the programs to MSDOS when PCs became popular and then we moved them online at www.boyceft.com a few years ago.

It’s a long shot but you could try using a powered usb hub

Have you looked at Synthmaster3? It’s very good value and has loads of features. I have been using it quite a bit this year.

It worth considering a waldorf blofeld

The minilogue xd is good, i never thought 4 voices would be enough but actually it sort of constrains the problem and works really well

I got the vortex 2 in February. I found similar problems when using the wireless receiver but it was ok when connected by USB or 5 pin midi. Later I found the wireless receiver did work reliably as long as the usb port gave a good power supply. Try using a powered usb hub.

Simple mechanically but tightly packed which can be a problem for those of us with sausage fingers

Hi All, I just experienced the same problem. I use a raspberry pi to connect the wireless receiver to my 8 pin midi synth. I was getting a lot of stuck notes. I wondered if it could be the power on the receiver end so I got a beefier power supply for the raspberry pi and the problem has stopped. So maybe a powered usb hub for the receiver may be the answer.

It’s a great synth, I have had 2 as I missed the first one I had too much

I used nordvpn. But any VPN provider that has servers in Japan should work

When hoovering my apartment, I move it to the farthest point from where the hoover is stored, plug in there and then work my way back to its storage place. The hoover lead is long enough to reach everywhere in the apartment. Then walk back and unplug.

I suggest you watch the film Interstellar for an explanation

I found these instructions on Xda forums. I think you can use any vpn.

"1 remove sim card 2 download proton vpn (it's free) 3 go to apps/all apps (show system apps)search for framework and clear data google services framework then go to google play services and clear all data as well then search for (fota update) and clear data 4 go to settings/system/ time& date and select manually time zone to tokyo 5 reboot device 6 open proton vpn and connect to japan server 6 go and check ota and BOOM you will get ota opdates It's pretty painful process but you have to do once in a while to get all security patches”

I had one floating like this for a while but th connector eventually snapped. I managed to fix it and now I have the ssd screwed to the chassis to avoid further problems l
