XL-7 plus Sounds of the ZR bug?

2003-10-06 by robertabrownjr

I am curious to know if anyone else with a "Sounds of the ZR" ROM in 
their XL-7 has this problem. 

Turn on the XL-7 and go to patch/preset mode.
Turn on "Audition" to listen to patterns that demonstrate the patch 
sounds.
Scroll through a few sounds and things should sound normal.
Got to bank 0 of the ZR ROM and scroll to patch 70.

On my machine this patch causes all sounds to become truncated, as if 
the sustain and decay have been chopped down. Once you play patch 70 
of the ZR ROM while Audition is on you cannot play any patches 
normally. Changing patches does not help. The sound is always 
truncated. Playing the pads or a keyboard still gives you truncated 
sounds. The problem will not go away unless you either power down or 
you change to some other mode such as pattern play. There are a few 
other patches on the ZR ROM that trigger this problem and it is 
repeatable. I have not noticed this phenomenon from any other ROM in 
my XL-7.

Can someone confirm this bug? I am using the latest OS in my XL-7.
