thanks for your time! all the best!
where (vaugely) do you live? where do you take your equipment for repair? how much did you pay? ... and what did you have done? just curioous... thanks! many years ago, i took a MC303 to the local shop that works on synths.. I said "it wont turn on and the power suppy is OK and the power connection to the board is OK, can you help me?" they said.. "sure, we can take a look at it" when i went back, they brought it out and said "it wont turn on but the power suppy is OK and the power connection to the board is OK too, so we cannot help you, you will have to send it back to Roland???" this expert opinion cost me $60 20 years ago.

20 years ago, I used a Roland MC303 with an Electrix Warpfactory vocoder... eventually added an Atari 1040ST and a laptop running NI generator 1.5, and I built and used a Paia Fatman synth for a while... now I only use computer, but hate myself twice for the 2 times i got rid of the warpfactory!

I tried it.. was really impressed... really like the look and feel, was able to find stuff very easy despite massive menu options... it seemed awesome... but i scrapped the idea that led me to reaper so i havent played with it in a while.

i think it might be because you are from a different instance... it may just be taking a while or there may be some glitches.. just a guess. I had similar problems when trying to subscribe to something on an instance other than waveform... and its still hung-up.
I would love to hear about any podcasts / audio books / lectures regarding electronic music / synthesis / audio you may like/ know of. I found this one recently, art+music+technology podcast... various guests from far and wide corners of electronic music and synthesizer circles from present back to the beginning. https://artmusictech.libsyn.com/ sadly the host passed away lat year, but the archive remains.
Miller Puckette offers his video lectures from his classes with Pure Data at UCSD for free on his website, here are the links, http://msp.ucsd.edu/media/ "In this directory are recordings of classes I've taught at UCSD since about 2012, with some repetitions. The directories are named by course number and date, so that "206.16w" means "Music 206, 2016, winter quarter". You can find corresponding syllabi and other course materials, in, for instance, ../syllabi/206.16w relative to this directory. Of particular interest are the seminars, course number number 206, which are all different: 206.12f Real-time computer music software design 206.15w Feedback and distortion 206.15f Stored and live control streams for real-time electronic music 206.18s Frequency-domain audio techniques 206.19s The voice as musical instrument 206.20s Inside Pure Data In addition to all those, various presentation and lectures are collected in the subdirectory "talks", and recordings of musical performances are in "music".

I had tried to learn Pd several times since the late 90s but it finally clicked and i have been obsessed. some of the things that have really helped me this time are YouTube tutorials... Dr Andrew Brown's 65-part tutorial series is excellent for newbies, highly recommended.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLx7kjuFheY&list=PLuxj2jXSuTvvqYcDLJ-poN-JxvqX0wq-m following these left me with the knowledge, and something of a toolkit, to be able to get satisfying-enough results to keep me motivated and excited, and the gears turning
