Okay, now what?

Unfortunately BATS are a little outdated.

You have to pull the plug and wait 20 seconds like a commodore.

Just turn it upside down and shake it.

Perhaps not, but they certainly consult it quite often.

Hey Wade,

My Dad used to smack the TV a couple of times when the picture went kerflooey. It worked, Who knew? Can't hurt to try it on your BAT. Let us know.

My busy playing season doesn't start until towards the end of the month of January. I managed to actually get some gigs during Tet. I don't think the contractor knows who he hired for these jobs because he gave me some condensed piano scores and score paper and told me to write my own parts!

They're dream gigs... if they work.

If you want to reboot, just smack the nut behind the mouthpiece shank. To clear the cache, going to get some single malt after the gig usually clears my cash. I would imagine that G bass bugle you have ought to be pretty good on the horizontal hold...

And, unless I use my toes, my tubas are all already pretty digital!

Hold on a minute, Wade. Is your tuba lacquer or silver? That could be messing the whole thing up, you know. Something to do with the chromatic spectrum of color and the vernal equinox, besides which, Mars is really present right now (and you know how that can screw with anything to do with the temporal displacemet of a Koi pond). BTW, are you near any Koi ponds? I have a Japanese friend who swears that whenever Mars is this close to earth, the fragmentary nature of fish gills, in accordance to the number of breaths they take on a given night at a certain temperature, has it been slightly cold there?, can serioulsy mess with the whole time/relativity thing. MAYBE that's why you are having the loop problem and the horizontal hold problem ONLY on those two particular tunes.

Then again, maybe not.

I was going to suggest the Big Red Switch, but I see you've gotten past that already.

If you drink the whole recommended bottle of single malt, the Big Red Switch will be easy to find if you need it in the future. Sometimes it needs a good smack to get it to turn off. I'm sure you can find someone willing to help with that.

You talk like this is the first time that's happened to you, think of this as a way to make all the other instruments in the arrangement envious or the end of bar resting.

No, it's not the first time it's happened to me. But it's the first time it's happened here. You forget where I am. And this is for a nationwide TV station. It's not someplace where I won't be noticed. I will make it a point NOT to show off.

As jhedrick introduced in the flat horn thread, most problems can be reduced to lack of available pirates. Find a pirate. Or Chuck Norris...

Where is the reset switch on a BAT? How does one reboot it? (I also need to clear their cache of wrong notes.)

Any advice?

Sounds like your sequencer unit is on the fritz. I would unplug it, bang it on the table a few times and stick it back in. You're good to go.
