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

Hitting stop twice on my PX-7 causes my Mopho to freeze- stops all sound until I unplug it.  Frustating trying to write tunes.  Midi ox didn't uncover anything unusual.  I was hoping to be able to send a command to fix it, that's what got me into the whole sysex or whatever it's called.

I've since decided to sell my synth module and buy a few more Emu roms, the frustration isn't worth it.  I can see the appeal in with software based producing where you don't have to learn everything, but hardware still has more appeal to me.  I'm really trying to give this a proper go, I'd made a couple of half assed attempts in my twenties.  Maybe the sysex side of things isn't my thing but it seemed important enough to try and learn it.

I look forward to Jane's prodatum program.  thanks.

BUT some SysEx is alien to me.  The Emu manual has things like KK VV XX YY ZZ  NN but  hex is 0 to H. The sysex info seems to have different meanings for different commands for the letters.
