Hello, I recieved my Little Phatty (sn #96) yesterday. After unpacking it and plugging it in, all the lights on the front panel lit up--and just STAYED lit up for a good 2 minutes or so. This concerned me because I have seen the bootup sequence on YouTube and I knew what bootup should look like. Anyway, after 2 minutes the bootup sequence started, the display said "version 1.02" and the mini light show (love it!) happend. I played some sounds and all seemed normal. I rebooted and there was still a slight delay (5 seconds or so) before I could play. I looked at the manual and noted that it said there would be a short delay during bootup.
I thought maybe some internal components (oscillator heat stabilzers?) needed to be "heated up" when the Phatty was "cold" and proceeded to play for a couple of hours.
I LOVE this thing, sounds sooo good.
After I was finished, I left the Phatty on all night to "burn in" any possible LED flickers (even though I didn't see any) and to maybe fix(?) the bootup thing. Upon thinking about it some more I thought that maybe there was a capacitor or internal battery that needed to be charged.
The reason I am posting, though is that this afternoon after leaving the Phatty off for several hours the same thing happend again with bootup--there was a delay of about 2 minutes. My question is, does this happen to anyone else? Is it normal for there to be a delay in bootup when the Phatty is "cold"/off for awhile?
If it is not normal is there a way to fix it??
Moog is closed until Monday. I really hope I do not have to send it back to them!
Thanks
