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

Another one I'd forgotten about, but which has made itself apparent from
listening to live recordings of the last gig:

The arpeggiator seems to drift out of sync. I'm using the XL-7 as
clock master (driving a couple of Nord MicroModulars and a Max/MSP
system) and using a preset-local arpeggiator. Sometimes, after holding
a chord for a long time, I notice that the arpeggiation has drifted
off the beat being followed by outboard modules. I just play the chord
again and it's tight again.

The drift is fairly slight (somewhere in demisemiquaver territory),
and I don't yet have a clear-cut example: just cases where the
arpeggiator has apparently drifted... somehow...
