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

Hello there.  I use mine as a stand alone sequencer.  It has crashed 
on me a few times but usaly when doing complicated stuff eg. 
wrighting a pattern and then going in and editing presets one after 
another and all wile it is playing.  It has never crashed on me when 
laying down a track for recording or anything like that.

There is still a couple of things that piss me off each time I use it 
and i have no idea if the first one is being addresed in the next 
os.  The first one being sompthing that has been going on since the 
begining of this box and that is when swithing patterns there is 
still a glitch when i press the HOME/ENTER button to "activate" the 
next pattern.  This has been left WAY TOO LONG in my opinion.  In my 
openion this one fix alone is worth its own OS update. Like not 
waiting 6 months and for the third os update.  Ok enuf bitching.  

The other thing that gets my goat is the still lacking USB port.  I 
know that they are working on it and I can only try and emagine how 
hard it is to work with windows code but it would be soooooo nice to 
have it working.  I know for alot of people it will work for the next 
os but i am now using XP and it will be a long wait for me.  I dont 
want to have to buy another midi card just to be able to back up my 
work.


Peace

Mike
