Yes, I also need to write a blind-friendly verion of the manual, with no
ansi art.

OMG! I have NO idea! LOL (not funny)

First off, it should be impossible to choose bad values.

Second (purely for interest) you may note that on the sep screen you also
have a +/- option.

Taking the bottom line of the screen to read:

L~ (-) [1.000] -> ||<

The "L"eft channel of the mp3 "~"Waveform is
"(-)"inverted and multipled by "[1.000]"
and "->"sent-to the "||<"Right-Speaker

You say:

>ROLO to your build
>F2 to reset
>F1
>AVC 20ms

do you mean:
ROLO your build
execute plugin from browser
f2/yes to reset
AVC=20mS
...
...
F1 to exit?

Could you please clarify a little further - it is important to me to find
this and fix it :)

Also ...At the point in time that it crashes, what is displayed on the screen?

Cheers for the feedback dude, much appreciated :)
