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

Sounds like bad connections on the sound roms.  I'd open it up, take out all four sound roms and reseat them.  You could even clean the contacts with a typical pencil eraser or with rubbing alcohol if they look oxidized.  In case you're wondering, the XL-7 pulls the sine waves for the frequency test off the roms, so if they have a bad connection, you'll hear exactly what you've described.

Has anyone encoutered this problem?
All of a sudden, the XL-7 sounds like a 8bit sampler, with white noise 
all over the sounds. And then, nothing, no sound on analog or digital 
outputs.

When doing DIAGNOSTICS tones, whatever the frequency, it's all digital 
noise, except a few times when the Command Station does actually output 
a fine tone, at random. It says there's no ROM inside: yeah right, there 
are 4, and it played nice a few hours ago.

This comes from a mint XL-7, always switched off with the... er... 
switch on the back, in perfect condition, not a scratch, no gig, no 
smoke, nothing.

Any clue? Thanks.
