Safe to leave unit on indefinitely, or best to turn off after every use

Post by Gemini8026 »

Curious for Rob or any other tech people out there. Obviously this isnt a power hungry unit, but there is some processing onboard. My E-drumin is located under my set so its a bit of a hassle turning it on and off. Anybody have any input on whether its safe to leave unit on constantly, or do you turn off?

For what it's worth, I've had my ED10 since early August and I never turn it off. Never had a problem.

I leave mine on all the time too. The only situation I would advise against leaving the unit powered is if you are using the 9v DC connector and have a high current draw USB device plugged into the host port.
