Gah! I was about to record the audio out of an 8-pattern sequence, when my volca Kick suddenly lost all the data: now, even though play and record lights come on when the buttons are pressed, there's no movement (no sequencer) - all movement is frozen - though playing 'live' notes still works.

Anyone have any idea what I can do?

Do you have anything plugged into the Sync In jack? Because that's exactly what happens when there's something plugged there, but with no source clock running.

Thanks for replying LM. No there was nothing plugged into the Sync In - it happened as soon as I plugged a lead into the Audio Out.

But - some progress - your suggestion made me go experiment: the sequencer motion *works* if I half-plug a lead into the Sync In (so some contact is being made with something or other) - but when I pull the lead out (or push it all the way in), it stops. I'm wondering whether dust has got into the jack, etc?
