I'm afraid that it looks like some kind of power supply problem.

1) The pedal turning on and off is obviously wrong.

2) Hitting a button and going into UPDATE mode is what it should do. At this point other keys will have no effect.

3) Is the same as (1).

4) Is really the same as (1).

So, either your power suppy unit is no good, or your AC mains is no good.

First, try and connect it to the AC mains (don't know the local term) somewhere really good, like a modern big building.

If you get the same problem, try a different power supply. Either send yours back to Eventide for replacement or buy one from the Eventide Store (probably cheaper and easier).

If still no good, it has to be a hardware fault in your unit. If it is still under warranty, you might just want to send it back.
