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

- Has anyone else manage to patterns that play back in the xl-7 without 
the bar/beat counter changing? 

>>>Yep, never aproblem with that. <<<

Another frustration - editing midi patterns that then over-write the setup 
for other patterns, becuase the fx and otyher general settings get 
blanked. 

>>I hear you.  After editing a pattern in Cubase, I'll reload it to a new 
Pattern loacation in the XL-7 and it'll sound different for some reason. 
Took me awhile to figure out the effects settings weren't getting copied 
too.  I just play the pattern I originally had to load up those effects 
settings, then scroll to the new one and WITHOUT HITTING PLAY press save 
to save the pattern.  Seems to work fine so far. <<<

And another frustration - time outs on midi transfer. I can't get the 
transfer to work properly at all - I have to re-transfer nearly every file 
to get it across. I've tried changing the midi delay on the XL-7 from it's 
minimum to it's maximum with no improvement :<

>>>What interface are you using. <<<
 
- While tweaking the knobs and switching to patch view, I found that I was 
no longer tweaking the track I had left, but the pathc and midi channel I 
was viewing instead. OK. When I went back to track view, I found I was 
>still< tweaking the midi channel I had just left, even though the track 
had nothing to do with it. 

>>>This is in the FAQ, the whole MIDI track versus channel thing is pretty 
confusing a lot of the times.  Aaron and the crew at EMu are aware of this 
too, I'm sure they've got something in the works. <<<
 
- Has anyone else here hit the on/off switch during a live set?

>>>Yeah, I did that once, pretty funny when all of a sudden I see the 
countdown telling me I've got 1 second left, doh!  <<
