01:28 damping violin modes: ETMY mode7 and ETMX mode4.Y- Mode 7; I changd gain from -20 to -60 significant damping occurred. X-Mode4 reversed phase from +60 to-60 and changed gain from -18.343 to -150. It seemed to be damping slightly but then returned.

02:37 after reverting ETMX Mode4  phase and changing gain to -120.343, the RMS value has come down to 4.42 from 4.59. I'm not sure if this is my doing or just a normal ringdown.

05:54 PI mode 27 ringing up. changed phase from 150˚ to 80˚.

05:08 Lockloss. Turning BRS back on at EY. Also, OpLev damping re-enabled back to -300 gain.
