MOTU 828 mK3 firewire: “Bad load DSP scope loop”
If you have displayed on the MOTU 828 Mk3 firewire during the quemix loading: “Bad load DSP scope loop” and after a moment “ press page to skip” and the unit return to loading the quemix function regularly without other problems. Some time this happen just one time some time two three time before quemix is loaded. However this never lead to some problem and, after it manages to load the DSP with a few tries in the loop, the unit seems to work fine. Most often, it is a problem created by a bad capacitor that needs to be replaced.
