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

Hey gang,
The one thing I don't like about the XL-7 is the lack of removable 
storage (ie: SmartMedia cards, Zip disks, etc.). Has anyone had any 
problems with the internal flash memory? For instance, has anyone 
ever turned on their xx-7 to discover that all (or some) of their 
patterns/songs have disappeared? I'm probably just worrying for 
nothing, but still.....

Also, does anyone else hate the jog wheel as much as I do? When I 
turn the knob slowly, sometimes it doesn't even change the preset 
number at all. If I speed it up even slightly, it jumps all over the 
place (ie: from Preset 1 - bank 0 to Preset 115 bank 3). It's 
ridiculous. I don't remember having this problem before I upgraded to 
OS 2.0, but maybe I'm not remembering correctly. The problem seems to 
be at its worst when I first turn the machine on. After about 10 
minutes, the job wheel seems to become a bit more responsive (but not 
much). Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, is there a way to 
improve it (ie: using Thin Events or some other program function)? 

Thanks everyone,
Fab
