DP-32 preferences {Auto Power Save]

[shredd]

Got a strange phenomena to inquire of - anyone ever have this?:

I have my DP-32 Preferences for [Auto Power Save] set to [OFF]...I have the attention span of a fruit fly and I wander in & out of my studio all day long, so I don't want things shutting down in between.

BUT: every once in a while - this has happened about 3-4 times over about a year - the unit will change this setting (all by itself!) to another setting - usually [30 MIN], which I imagine is the default...and I'll drift back into the studio to find the unit has shut itself off.

Anyone???

Can you check what happens to that settings when you change between songs?

Amazingly - I thought of that…based on @Phil Tipping’s tip about creating a song template, to start each new song w a predetermined set of settings…

I thought perhaps loading a different song might change a [preferences] panel setting???
But it appears to me that the [preferences] panel in the main menu are global/machine settings, not specific to any song, and shouldn’t change when you switch songs.
And, in fact, when I change songs (which I do often), that auto PowerSave setting usually does not change.
It just seems every couple of months, it will suddenly be set from [OFF] to a minute setting, & shut down when left…maybe it’s some weird booting/startup thing??

Very mysterious…

You echoed my understanding @shredd. Sorry but I have no idea on this one.

Confirmed, @-mjk-

...but still a mystery...I suppose my DP is possessed by the haunted soul of the original owner, who I believe devoted his musical endeavors to recording "Famous Accordion Ballads" and covers of Bud Light beer commercials...
