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

One more thing I forgot to mention.  In almost every case, it's the 
filter cut off knob that gets loose first, as that's what gets the 
most use by the majority of people.  So I wouldn't worry too much if 
it's only your "A" knob that feels looser, mine's the same way.  In 
fact some of my knobs are really stiff (last 4) since I have rarely 
used them. :)

As with all potentiometers, it's always good practice to move them 
through out their whole range every few months, just so that they 
stay nice and clean.  Most modern pots are self-cleaning (I assume 
the XX-7's are the same), and if you move them they will keep the 
contacts cleaner.  

BTW, this applies to analog mixers too.  I rotate all the knobs on my 
Mackie board as part of my monthly studio cleaning and dusting 
proceedure.
