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

There's plenty of things that affect volume.  Try a factory preset, or a different factory preset (i.e. not one of the user presets).  Try erasing all events on the track (if you have 2.0, the shortcut is to hold the erase button and press the track button for the track you'd like to delete).  You could twiddle the main volume knob in the event that it's got a dirty contact (unlikely).  Check your master effects.  Try putting the drums on a different track to see if that makes a difference.

Subject: [xl7] Re: Random velocity/volume fluctuations

Thanks for your reply, Yes, these are emtpy sequences, so they don't 
have any knob data but I did delete all controller data anyway to 
check.  This happens even with inputting notes by grid recording. 
even with the velocity at max the volume still fluctuates. There is 
no visual change of velocity on the screen either. I cant even call 
the changes random as it seems to be 2.5 bars input volume then a 
couple bars with a spike in volume.  I haven't checked every present 
but it appears this is only happening with drums.
