that's interesting - i haven't had any lockups but i haven't done much
"quick editing" during pattern creation (i'm rather slow, darnit) and
haven't really delved into X-Mix just yet. most of my sequencing on the
Command Station these days is in trying to recreate older (pre-1990) Depeche
Mode / Erasure / (insert New Wave band name here) songs for a cover band
project i'm hoping to kick off in the near future, so not much "live
mixing", although i'll probably get into that once that project starts
coming together.

i love the XL-7 - i'm on my fourth now - i keep thinking i can do without
it, but just like i GODFATHER PART III, it keeps pulling me back in...
