Please, please, please - don't recommend full resets to people having
problems!  You will ERASE ALL YOUR SEQUENCES!  The diagnostics menu
isn't documented because you're really not supposed to be in there.

For fixing odd problems like the kind you're having, first try
reloading the factory multisetup.  This will reset everything in the
Global menu and MIDI menu to reasonable values, solving things like not
changing presets, messed up MIDI settings, etc.

1 - Global menu > 1st screen: RESTORE MULTISETUP
2 - cursor down and scroll to: 063 Factory Setup
3 - press enter

If this doesn't solve your problems, the second step would be to reset
all except seq in the diagnostics menu.  It's the third to last item. 
Note, however, that this will ERASE ALL EDITED PRESETS!  This really
should only be used to reset presets, as that's the only additional
thing it does beyond restore the factory multisetup.

The ONLY time you should ever perform the second to last diagnostic
reset is if you want to ERASE EVERYTHING from the box, INCLUDING
FACTORY SEQUENCES.  Really this should only be done with a newly
aquired used unit that has a lot of junk sequences and you don't want
any factory sequences.

Sorry, not to pick on anybody here (and I know you're trying to be
helpful mibrilane) but casually suggesting an unsuspecting user to
delete everything from their XL-7 can cause problems.  It's like
saying, hmm, sounds like you have a computer virus - I don't really
remember the specifics, but I think you should type "format c:".
