My SD-2 is working intermittently as well, so I get that it may be dying.

Why hardware vs. software; well, for one reason, the SD-2 actually has some very good GM (and additional) sounds. The solo flute from my SD-2 fooled a professional flute player when I used it for a flute solo in one of my songs.

I will admit, I haven't had a lot of time to troubleshoot. I have seen that you can maybe reapply the firmware, but I've also seen too many reports of other people's SD-2's getting bricked in the process. I don't think it's the computer, because it just started acting up one day and I get the same results across multiple computers (a mix of Windows 7 and Windows 10).

I may also have to take a look at the SD-1000.
