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

Hi folks,

My name is Boris, and I bought an MP-7 two days ago.
Yesterday I had my first acquaintance with it, and, aside from being 
rather impressed, have a couple of questions.

- When I change the filter Freq (in the Filter edit page), it doesn't 
seem to affect the notes already sounding, i.e. I have to retrigger 
to hear the change. This seems unreasonable, since knobs or other 
real-time controllers *do* affect the filter immediately. What can I 
do about it? Playing with Freq and hearing the filter change is such 
a basic fun of synthesis, it must be possible!

- Is it possible to quickly reset a latched arpeggiator? I know of 
two ways, neither of which is quick: in the Preset screen, go to "A:" 
parameter and set it to "off", then back to "on" or "P"; or in Preset 
Edit, scroll to Arp Latch parameter (can I jump directly to it? seems 
like I always have to scroll) and turn it off and on again.

And while I'm at it, my first feature requests for Preset Edit mode:
- in Compare mode, display the original (stored) values;
- add a Copy Envelope function. This is implemented very effectively 
on Ensoniq samplers, where you can copy envelope parameters to an 
internal clipboard, and then "paste" them to any other envelope. 
After all, E-MU acquired Ensoniq, why not use the best in its' 
heritage? :-)

These features doen't seem too hard to implement, and would make 
using the powerful synthesizer of MP-7 even more pleasant. Hopefully, 
in the next OS version...

Thank you for attention,
have a great day,
Boris.
