If your computer has a soundcard, of the
commercial type, which most computers do, either on the motherboard,
built in, or 3rd party externals ones, you know with mic in, line out.
all you need is a cable for 10-12 bucks that plugs
into the serial port of the sound card, looks lile a small printer cable that
goes into a y with a midi in out.
radioshack, compusa, creative.com should have
these.

1. USB: I don't right now have a MIDI interface for my computer. Is there any way to get the OS update into my box through the USB connection, or do I need to buy a MIDI port for my computer? If I need to buy, what's a good, reliable, supercheap 1x1 port?
>>>Yes, you'll need to buy a MIDI interface for your comptuer to update the OS (which is very needed!). I recommend the MIDIMan MidiSPORT 1x1, I think they're like $59, so pretty cheap. <<<
2. Factory Restore: Is there a way to clear all the other person's user presets and restore factory presets? Or is that irrelevant because the factory presets can't be altered and I just just overwrite the old user presets?
>>> Yes, the Factory Presets can't be over written, so your best bet is to use overwrite the User Presets. <<<
3. AUXES as Inputs: Anybody made use of the auxes as auxiliary inputs as described in the manual? Can you mix levels? Is there anything else cool you can do with it? The manual appears to suggest you can't run the aux input throguh the xx7's filter section but it would be super cool if you could.
>>>They're not really inputs (though that would be cool!), but send and returns. So anything you send into the unit, will be added AFTER all of the filters and synth sections. <<<
Welcome aboard!
