Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

Scott,

This happens to me as well.  Occasionally if I switch patterns while the 
XL-7 is playing (in pattern mode, I never use song more), the next pattern 
will "hiccup" a bit at the beginning.  Usually it's only the first couple 
of beats, but it is noticeable if infrequent.  It seems to happen to me 
the most if I've been working on a new pattern and then start switching 
while it's playing.  If I just turn the XL-7 on and don't do any 
recording/copying, then it doesn't seem to happen.  Like I said it's 
infrequent, but when it does happen it's very noticeable.  I'll try and 
narrow it down some more if I can over the next week.  I'm off work for 
the holidays and plan on spending much of my time with just the XL-7 and 
my new Red Sound Micro Sync :)

That being said, I'm not aware of your exact problem description having 
been observed by anyone previously. We are aware that when switching 
patterns in Song mode there is sometimes still a bit of a lag on the first 
note of the switched-to pattern, and a couple of other intermittent 
head-scratchers. But I think the behavior changing over a 
power cycle is news to us.
