thanks for sharing...!

but this brings up another point about why it's so hard to fully grok the 
XL7... the sequencer is shared between the XL7, MP7, PX7 and P2500. the 
synth engine is almost the same the from at least as early the audity-2000 
(in some ways as early as the P1) up to the P2000 and all of it's 
multi-colored variants, command stations and P2500. so we're talking about 
what, a dozen or so synths? with at least as many mailing lists? and most 
of the traffic is probably about the same basic operations, "which ROM 
should i get", and other stuff that's a far cry from *advanced* synthesis 
techniques...

so, short of signing up for 10-20 mailing lists and trawling the archives 
(it's no fun trawling the archives in yahoo), is there a better way to get 
consolidated info about programming these beasts?

i'm *almost* tempted to start a new mailing list that focuses on advanced 
synthesis (and sequencing) in these beasts... but if the problem is to too 
many mailing lists, the solution probably isn't creating another mailing 
list.
