They are being *very* helpful.  Holding notes over the barline was
something that was fixed in a recent release.  Also, you do realize
that the XL-7 is always in overdub mode, right?  (for your OS at least,
Replace was also added in a later release).  Overdubbing the same notes
on top of each other is just asking for gating effects...

Go to your nearest music store or a friend's with a PC if you can't get
one.  Trust me (and E-mu support), 2.00 will fix your problems.
