Hey, Royce. Good to hear from you again!! And it's especially wonderful to see that you have been working on a cool new tool for our beloved E-Mus. I am looking forward to trying it out later.
It doesn't look like you incorporated any features from syxer (most notably the ROM ID changer). I am not sure if you incorporated any of the ideas I have considered and/or discussed over the years under as The Parametizer. If not, perhaps you might. From what I see of your new software, these features might work well there and might be easy to integrate.
Let me know.
Steve

2016-04-04 UPDATE:
So far, it seems like only moderators have been receiving the bogus mail with probably malicious attachments.
MODERATORS (here and in other groups):
I thought we were done with these e-mails/attachments , but evidently not.Today, I found an e-mail like the others with an attached zip file purporting to be photos. The attachment was scanned and quarantined.
It is possible that this e-mail + attachment was sent from a Galaxy cellphone by someone in France: The message contained "Sent from my Galaxy S6 edge + Orange" in French.

I'd like to confirm this works! I sprayed deoxit on the encoder and then tightened the chuck of my power drill over the stem carefully and gave it some turns in both directions. Jog wheel works perfectly! Thank you!

If there is a way to d sticky threads, I don't know. However, a few years ago I came up with a system that in some ways might be better. It was either called E-Mu LAW or e-LAW, with LAW being an acronym for Links to Accumulated Wisdom.
It was a folder in the files section with an HTML page that was like a Table of Contents for the accumulated wisdom of the posts we have here, or perhaps it was more like a hierarchical/ topic index--headings, subheadings, and alphabetical lists on an html page with links to threads and posts. I think, like a true index, I had plans that within a topic, main posts or threads would be in bold.
It would have required members to search the archives and identify relevant threads and posts. Other than the samples I had, no one else offered to mine the archives. It might still be there, but I seem to recall I took it down with the intent of organizing it myself (with improvements) . I think I was going to take the FAQs, find the original posts for many of what was there, and use that to start a bigger E-Mu LAW page than the sample entries I had done. Life got too complicated and I never had the time.
With the old (pre-neo) site, I had better luck finding relevant posts to issues being raised that I would post links to. With neo, I don't think I have been as successful. Perhaps it could be the result of an aging mind.
In any case, I will look to see if I have the original html page (with minimal css, I think).
At one point, I also made text copies of some of my contributions, with the plans of re-organizing them and possibly posting them on my site.

E-Mu LAW [Links to Archived Wisdom]

See Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/xl7/conversations/messages/24482 for info about the E-Mu LAW thread.
ADDENDUM: I found the following as a text file from 2005!!! I don't know if the links still work; I will test after this gets posted. If not, that would be a major flaw to any such indexing effort. Hmmmm. More thought needed. Plenty of ideas; not much time, though.
E-Mu Links to Archived Wisdom [sample]
TOPIC(S):
(1) Embedding sysex commands in patterns
(2) Controlling external gear
(3) Sysex commands

LOL - 50-50: 2 links seem to work, 2 don't. I will look for the html page I seem to recall doing.

I fully applaud this message :) I wouldn't mind having a fully compiled list kicking around. These mailing lists are an amazing archive, I just wish the files section was a bit bigger and it would be perfect.

Hi Steve,
Thank you for diving in to this problem. Still had no luck with the MacOSX version, the required Gtk library can be only installed via some serious Terminal coding, which I really don't know that much... So it is a task for my older windows PC. I'll start it up these days and give a try.
Yeah sysex would be more compatible way, but I'm a bit afraid not to ruin the preset memory with messing with it.
Cheers,
Gaspar

Re: Stuttering problems
Sun Apr 17, 2016 3:06 am (PDT) . Posted by: bobybobampton
Hi, i have the same problem with my MP-7 and i have the latest OS 2.0.
I have a micro cut between the patterns, when i switch between two different patterns.
And mostly on the sounds from my proteus 2000 and my ESX controlled by the MP-7.
Any idea ?

do you have FX parameters set to the patches you are loading/changing? it
sounds to me like the fx kicking changing settings which tends to cause a
skip int he audio engine. try disabling fx or using global fx settings
instead of patch fx settings.

Stuttering, micro cut sounds, and the sounds of FX changing seem to me to be very different things. Can people upload some isolated examples? Some context would help, like a 5-10 sec clip with the aberration in there somewhere--or maybe a longer clip with several aberrations.
Some possible diagnostic questions:
Does the unwanted effect (glitch? stutter? micro cut? timing hesitation/catchup? ) occur in song mode with patterns chained together? If so, what are the event source parameter settings?
Does the issue sound the same on the internal sounds as well as on external gear?
Can you test the pattern by loading the midi file into a software sequencer, removing the sysex info, and then putting back into the hard ware sequencer?
If you play the pattern at 50% or 25% or even 10% of the speed, does the unwanted effect sound any different and if so, how?
Steve
