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

Im new to the group but I own many Emu/Ensoniq
products.  SP1200, ASR 10 , FIZMO, E5000, and MP7.  I
am nearly ready to sell my E5000 for one reason and
one reason only!!!

Is it me or can you not do realtime sample editing
while the sequencer is running?  Going into sample
edit mode disables the presets playing within the
sequence.  With my ASR 10, I can tweak a sample
perfectly to the beat while running.  I just couldnt
believe this when I first got the E5000 but sadly it
seems true.  Please tell me Im a novice and have just
overlooked this function.  If not, the E5000 (with all
its impressive features) gets the thumbs down.
