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

thank you all for your help, I did a reset also and still the same 
affect. the best way to describe it is like random accents on the 
sound. it happens regardless of track/drum present etc.  at this 
point i cant see how it could be any sort of intentional modulation 
making the accents. although i plugged and plugged again, through 
different mixers, etc, i think it was some sort of bleed in my cables 
or mixer, which was not present before, but after several switches it 
seems to be gone :D

preset....it can also be created with a slow/S&H phase summing effect 
such as phase shifter that sums a phase/time shifted version of the 
signal with the original....this will give the sonic appearance of a 
fluctuations in amplitude at each beat....

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.
