Played a song from iPad and bingo the piano played However, the levels were bad. The piano was very loud and the accompaniment soft. Then at the end of the song one key was stuck down. As I contemplated what to do about that there was a pop and the key let up. Now there is no light on the IQ and no light on the CPU. There was also a strange smell coming from the system? Where from I could not tell. <div><br></div><div>I have unplugged the system with no change. I turned the power strip on and off and no change. I pushed the reset button on the CPU and no change. I think something "blew-up" but have no idea what. </div><div><br></div><div>Would the levels being off like that make this system implode? I have not been able to adjust the levels because I never got the piano to play so the midi files I was running to calibrate the system were never reaching the CPU. </div><div><br></div><div>I guess I should have tried to run the setup CD again but live and learn I just wanted to see if the **** thing would play after the grief I have had with class, installing the system, and then all the trouble getting the thing to play, not to mention the thousands I have spent to be here with basically nothing but some fancy parts.</div><div><br></div><div>Any chance anyone knows how to reset the CPU other than the CPU button?

The Silent Drive HD setup CD and its 40 + files have been loaded through iTunes onto the iPad and have been played to set up the driver boards.
