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

I just got an XL-7, updated the OS to 1.18, and am experiencing the 
MIDI sync/pattern change glitches referred to in other messages.

The way it operates today, you cannot use this box in a live 
situation (either as MIDI master or slave) and change patterns 
without losing sync.

Is there another OS revision coming soon which will address this 
critical flaw for live users? Otherwise, I'm taking the box back. The 
RM1X is much more solid with timing and sync.
