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

Just some ideas. You could have a knob or pad misfiring depending on how many miles the px-7 has on it and how "gently" it was used by it's previous owner(s). A problem I have encountered before. Also if you are using an external controller keyboard, etc, this may be sending controller messages you you may not be aware of. Another cause of a similar problem I experienced.  When you solve it please let us know. Thanks and good luck!

I was thinking the previous owner hit some setting by accident but I've checked everywhere.  I'm also thinking it may have to do with the subtle software difference in the PX-7 since it's the "drum edition".  The VROM sounds great in the XL-7 box, which leads to the other issue.
