I did a quick test with the usb input powering it and no issues at all - booted into patch every time, so I suspect that’s an issue with the DC PSU I was using. I’ll try something different there tomorrow…
Edit: mode switch is working as should.

New PSU here and it was definitely that causing the wonky boot issues. The witch is fine with the linnstrument if the usb data speed is slowed down linn side - setting around 300 seems fine in terms of avoiding lock ups.
Good to hear. Has the firmware update made any difference?
Not at all I’m afraid - still locks at the faster/standard usb speed.
Hi, very fresh Witch owner here. What helped me was to lower the number of MPE MIDI channels on Linnstrument to 4-6 (see the polyphony properties of each synth patch). Having all 7 channels on (1 master, 2-8 for playing) was probably overloading the patch.
Actually, Witch is using 6 voices in Vosim / Subtract patches and 4 voices in Wavebank / Quadsampler patches. So you should be using channels 2 to (num_voices + 1). You won’t be overloading it otherwise, but I’m not sure that it can handle invalid channel numbers correctly. If you use less than that, you will be stealing voices more frequently which could be a problem if you want to have more polyphony playing, longer release on envelopes and so on.
PS - I vaguely remember buying LXR-01 from you a few years ago, small world!
