Yep thats the one, sometimes its ok other times not..

Have yet to try that way, im still wading through it all!

Ive tryed reseting the XL-7 and ive run the factory diagnostics on 
the DSP's and ram etc, all good (so it says..)
Ive not reloaded the O/S again as it doesnt seem to crash or the 
like, just this voice stealing problem. Not sure if that could be 
just down to a dirty midi dump to the unit.
When i updated the O/S it went without a hitch, im sure the check sum 
was correct as well ( ABA794C2 )

Ive now tryed this with all filters switched off on all presets on 
all layers (so to not eat into polphony) No effects turned on , no 
chorus turned on anywhere.
It still can play up..
Also ive played back the same seq in cubase to the XL-7 and used it 
as a sound module. It still played up.

It dosen't use factory presets anymore as ive switched of all 
layers / filters and instruments that arn't being used anymore.
What roms do you have in your PX-7? Ive got the X Lead, Techno rom, 
Protean Rom and Beat Garden rom.
I guess if i try something else using the protean rom you will have 
this in your PX-7?
Im right in the middle of a load of engineering work at the moment so 
my spare times a bit sparse. When i get a chance i try to get it to 
play up using presets from one of the roms you may have the same.
Thanks for your help, it would be good to get some else opion on the 
problem..
Regards
