Nah, not at all. Yeah it can seem like this list is sort of a bug reporting forum, but only because we know that the techs regularly listen to us. Every peice of new electronic music equipment has issues, and eventually gets OS updates (if you're lucky!) over time. Sometimes it CAN be frustrating but it doesn't really slow me down when I'm working, I still write music. Personally I'm just thrilled that Emu supports us so well as it is, I mean look at all that Scott, Aaron, and the rest of the crew has helped us out with already.
For me, the XL-7 has really opened up new doors and ideas (vitual patch cord synthesis), while at the same time letting me do things I used to love (playing live). If I can turn around and help Emu a bit with some bug reporting so that others who DON'T have access to this wonderful forum can keep making music bug free, then it's a fair enough trade off to me. They take time out of their lives to help us by answering questions and working on new features we request, I don't mind taking a bit of time to help them. Even if it does mean they need to check their inbox more often ;)
Don't let some small bugs keep you from making music. None of the bugs we've found make it impossible to make some killer tunes with the Command Station.
Peace and beats,

Eric, Boomtap, thank you for your great help!! Don´t you feel our gear keeps us writing bug reports instead of
making music?? (I´m not talking about the controller issue here...)
