Why do you want an older OS? There's no reason at all to downgrade to an
older OS for the XX-7's. Well, except that beta version with realtime Q
enabled, but you won't find that :)

Wish I had it in the E-Mu. (And if I had known it was deliberately
disabled, I might not have spent so much time trying to figure out what I
was doing wrong.)
>>>Yes, res is only calculated at Note On. <<<
I imagine in the wrong hands realtime control over resonance with filters
such as EaryRizer could pop an E-Mu into oblivion--either that or it would
enable presets that would be way too amazing for audience comprehension.
Any idea why it was disabled?
>>>Basically because the engineers at Emu felt that it didn't sound as
smooth as they'd like, and gave unpredicatble results with some of the
esoteric filters. I argued long and hard that more options (no matter how
they sound) are always a better thing when it comes to sound design, but
to no avail. It was felt that people would not be able to get over the
fact that the resonance didn't behave like on other gear in some
instances, and thus would be a cause for complaint. Personally, I never
noticed any of the above, at least not in a way that I thought was
negative. <<<
