I have same problem!All work great but midi in and out not. I cannot sync FROM LXR to other device and otherwise I can't sync LXR from other device. Also no sequencer data transmitted
Hairdryer is ok!! Just be careful and heat up not for a long time.I bought different types of tubes in local marketplace called "RADIORINOK" ;-)One 1.5m long tube cost $0.33. Cheaper version is $0.17.
