Hello,
all lights turn off the display is “active”(on but not moving)
What dimi said. I noticed my sub takes longer than factory to go into sleep but could be because it’s in slave sync mode.
yeah I think in some sync settings it has never slept because glitchiness it what I am testing. but I must say my first batteries are still in after all this time and going strong. sooo I don’t mind.
Sub as sync slave (SY4) with master cable connected didn’t go to sleep in like 10 minutes. Pressed some buttons, disconnected master cable and it went to sleep in 3-4 minutes. Will have to confirm next time I use it, I wasn’t paying much attention at first.
I confirm : when the sync jack is plugged, the PO doesn’t sleep.
@minorremedy the PO is sleeping when no LED is bright.
Lesson I learned from guitar pedals long ago: if not connected to a power supply, unplug unplug unplug or they will slowly drain! I noticed the POs seemed to follow this pattern early on, and always unplug when I’m done with a sync’d session. Then they seem pretty quick about sleeping.
@dimi3Do you know what setting you put it on to make it sleep? I can’t seem to get mine to sleep either (not plugged in either).
i just unplug it from everything and let it sit… might not be a happy choice for a set up but I usually play it a a jamming device
^ I think TE has chosen to inhibit sleep mode when a plug is connected to line in, even if the sequencer is stopped, just because the PO may be chained to other equipment and acting as a pass-through.
Did you guys read the manual? It says in there that the PO doesn’t shut off completely. The LCD stays on until the batteries drain…
@oponeuser Right, the display is alwys on, but it drastically reduces battery drain after 5 minutes of inactivity, if line in is disconected.

Another design flaw. We shouldn’t have to remove cables or batteries just to prevent battery drain. It’s a fail no matter how much you defend it.
^ Ah, I was not defending it, just stating a fact…
I’ve had these things for weeks and I’m still rocking 99% battery life
