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

If you're trying to salvage something that would be difficult to 
recreate, I'd suggest outputting what you have to a computer 
sequencer (if available) and finalizing the sequence in there. You 
can then dump it back to the XL7 if you need to do live playback or 
something. Or you could build a new pattern chain and then overlay 
the salvaged song track data, maybe...

I don't know anything about the internal workings of the sequencer 
code, but it sounds like the song mode step insert bug might be some 
kind of linked-list funkiness where it's forgetting to update its 
references. Odd that it works most of the time. I guess song mode is 
more of a sketchpad or sequence-player at best. Too bad, but I agree 
with Aaron, XMix was a better use of resources, because you can cover 
song mode's inadequacies with a computer sequencer, in a pinch.

Hope you get it worked out.
