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

If you think your global options are set to strange values, reset them
by simply restoring the factory multisetup (#63).  Remember that if you
don't have sequence data on a track (i.e. a note or controller or
something) it won't save the preset for that channel.  That's by design
(though a choice I regret considering how many people it's confused).

PS. compacting memory will never fix anything.  It's only to defragment
memory before going out live so that compaction doesn't run
automatically while you're in the middle of your set.  If it says it
doesn't need it, it really doesn't.
