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

This *may* be related:

I've not yet noticed this on my PX-7 (though I fully expect to see 
it eventually)

However, my P2K has been exhibiting similar behavior ever since I 
upgraded the ROM to 2.X (when they added the arps/beats)...

Whenever I dial up one of the BTS presets, hit Audition and turn up 
the "complexity" controller, the user interface gets very laggy.  In 
fact, I can turn off Audition, and the pattern continues to play for 
perhaps 1.5 to 2 bars before stopping (during this time, the knobs 
and buttons are almost totally unresponsive), then everything 
suddenly returns to normal.

This is particularly apparent in the denser World Expedition Beats, 
but my hunch is that it is a predictable behavior in BTS mode 
whenever the pattern gets really busy.

Is this what y'all are talking about?  If so, it is 
probably "expectable behavior" and the P2K engine has been doing it 
for years.  I surprised to learn that the Command Stations do it 
too, considering the engine is supposed to be "3 times faster" than 
the P2K series.

It's a minor annoyance, but it's never really gotten in my way.  I 
reckon we'd better get used to it.
