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

Being able to manually control which part of the pattern is being edited 
in grid mode would go a long way toward eliminating that "almost," of 
course.

>>>Yeah, the more I play with my XL-7, the more I wish this was 
implemented the way you suggest.  Having to stop a pattern to go back and 
fix a drum hit can be tedious.  Hopefully in February...<<<

True, and that's a good thing, but there's also no way to do one-button 
pattern switching a la Roland's Pattern Call (or drop MIDI phrases in at 
will a la Roland's RPS). Right now you're limited to dialing, which is 
less than ideal live.

>>>When I play out live, I copy all of the patterns I'm going to play into 
a seperate User Bank, that way you only have to scroll a single increment 
to get the next pattern.  Even if you don't lay out your sets in a linear 
fashion this way, it still helps to avoid having to scrol through numerous 
banks. <<<

As well as this. As frustrating as it may be to hear something you worked 
hard on criticized, it's reassuring to know that the criticism is being 
listened to.

>>>We've all said it before, but the EMu tech support this list has seen 
is just phenominal.  I'm sure it's not easy for those guys to hear us 
bitch about their hardwork all the time (certainly nowhere near as easy as 
it is for us to complain!), but I think it's a good thing for everyone 
involved.  Let's face the brutal truth, no sequencer (any gear really) is 
going to have every feature that every user wants.  Largely it comes down 
to what can be implemented easily, and will satisfy the most people out 
there using the gear.  I think Emu has done a tremendous job on that front 
so far, and we all know there's more to come.  I wish more people 
expressed patience with Emu, instead of venting angrily.  We're lucky to 
have such support, let's not drive them away :) <<<
