Re: xl-7 sounds editor (Prodatum)

As promised, I did some quick tests and was not able to duplicate the wipe out problem in Prodatum. So I went back and found the write-up on this issue.

I am not sure I will be able to duplicate these tests this weekend on the latest version of Prodatum.

However, I did notice yesterday and today that after changing the virtual Master Volume knob, sound stops on my P2500 until such time that I change the Master Volume by hand. I am not sure what';s going on there, or if it is unique to my setup.

Finally, I did test channel switching (selecting each of the channels) to see if that would trigger a crash. On Prodatum 0.38, a crash was triggered once followed by 3 succesful tests. On Prodatum 0.41, I was able to select each of the channels 3 times with no crash.

(Under OS2.0 The CS/P2500 saves some last state info and restores it upon power up.) I will run some tests shortly to see if this still happens.
