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

Hey, Massimo, this is perplexing. After the power-up/boot sequence finishes, my P2500 does not show signs of having loaded Multi 00--even though the last version of the manual does indeed say it does this. Maybe its the P2500? Maybe its just my unit. 

During the second half of the power-up/boot sequence some settings are pulled from some place--perhaps some are pulled from multisetup 00 and then some last state system settings are restored on top of that.

The last manual (XL-7) also states:

Warning: MIDI Menu changes are automatically saved
when you exit the menu. If the power is turned off before you
exit the menu any changes you have made will be lost.

Warning: Global Menu changes are automatically saved
when you exit the menu. If the power is turned off before you
exit the menu any changes you have made will be lost.

So, maybe these are stored someplace special and are restored at power-up AFTER Multisetup 00 is loaded. If so, perhaps after power-up the E-Mu has the following:

Global Settings - from current state at power-down
MIDI Settings - from current state at power-down
Channel Preset Settings - from Multisetup 00
Sequencer - Sequence 000^0

(I haven't tested controller or arps & beats settings; no idea whether they are from last state at power-down or multi 00; might be good to know, though. )
