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

I don't know if it's related, but my XL-7 exhibited random clicks and pops which start to appear after about 15 minutes. It only happened when it is warm in the room so it seems to be temperature related. It's not the same amount as what you seem to be experiencing - in my case it was only every couple of minutes or so at the most, and no sounds seemed to be disappearing etc.

I 'fixed' it by getting a second Command Station, an MP-7, and swapping the main boards. I noticed that the MP-7 appears to have a patch wire mounted on it so I'm figuring there's a hardware problem with the original XL-7 design which was fixed in later command stations.
