Hi All and thanks for reading/responding
I haven't used my SR 16 in about a year and a half as I'd bought the SR 18 but really don't love it all that much so wanted to use the 16 again. Had it repaired a while back as the volume wheel was crackling and failing to affect the volume reliably and I thought I might sell it. So I hooked it up to use it this afternoon and all is well but the Fill button no longer behaving as expected. Instead of adding a fill and switching to the Preset Pattern's A or B sub pattern, it just adds a fill and remains on A or B. So I can only swap to A from B or vice versa using the actual A or B buttons. This issue is the same whether using the button on the unit or the footswitch and persists even with the foot switches and midi cables all disconnected.
I have not performed a factory reset as I have a lot of User patterns and songs on there that took hours to compose, I may wish to use some day and am reluctant to risk losing if not necessary. But I will try this if no one has any other suggestions. I couldn't find any posts related to this issue anywhere online so doubt it's a known issue with these warhorse units and am wondering if there's some setting or something I've inadvertently triggered that is causing this. That or perhaps the tech who repaired the unit might have accidentally done something while replacing the volume control.
Thanks again and have a great 2016
