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

well I personally think it is a better idea to shut it off with the 
switch becuase that way there is no discrepincy about voltage being 
wasted from the outlet because the actual circuit is "open" - but 
thats me trying to save the world on little kilowatt at a time - as 
far as leaving the device on for months or even days - I don't have 
that much time at one time besides it is easy to save things along 
the way - then stop - do what is necessary and then continue - I just 
thought for some reason that 8 hours might be getting to be long for 
it considering it doesn't have a fan ... yes I realize emu had good 
and intuitive intentions with the XX 7 - but honestly when things get 
hot even to certian seemingly low temperatures memory in general is 
volitile and thus suseptable to what is known commonly/collectively 
as "frying" - I happen to be a good parent of my device - I don't 
want my device to start smokin - its bad for the health you know ...

some problems.With the stanby because the power supply stay on, and 
it be very hot.And with a little problem on the electric line the 
power supply break, sometime with the motherboard.Me i always put off 
my xl-7 with the switch on the rear, never stand by.

deciphering indirect answers but if you are in the US, that is, 120V, 
then there is no problem with leaving the command station on 
indefinitely, I have left it on for months at a time without a 
problem and went picked up where I left off.  However, I keep all my 
computer based synth gear on UPS power, because you never know when 
power can drop and lose or corrupt your work......
