is blinking normal?

Post by tangucho »

When I turn on the Ultralite MK3 just after all the system is loaded, a number 44 appears on the LED and starts to blink for a few seconds and then stops. is that normal?? do i have a voltage problem?

i dont have that interface but im guessing the number 44 is referring to your sample rate...its problably locking itself to the current sample rate and when its done...it stops blinking?? something very simlar happens with 2408 mk3

Yeah I get a blinking on the 896mk3 but each sample rate has its own light. I'm guessing because the Ultralight is more compact they need to use the screen to display more of the info.

Yes, indeed it stops blinking when "its done". So I can relax about it?

Yep. If you want to test the theory change your sample rate and see if the number changes :)
