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

Enter your vote today!  A new poll has been created for the 
xl7 group:

What feature would you MOST like to see 
implemented in a new OS release for the 
Command Stations? 

  o A way to see if a Preset is saved in Pattern or not as you scroll through them in Preset view.  This would make it easier to free up memory and overwrite User Presets that are no longer being used.  Similarly, a way to erase or reset all unused Presets at once. 
  o The ability to record or enter Track Mutes in a Pattern and Song 
  o A means to select and add a measure of silence at the end of a Pattern while in real time record mode.  this would allow you to avoid writing over the beginning of a Pattern when it loops around. 
  o Real-time preview of quantize settings in Pattern Edit so you can hear your changes as you make them, as well as new Groove Quantize features. 
  o An Undo (Revert To Saved) keyboard shortcut, to make undoing a bad take easier and faster. 
  o A Record Replace mode, not just Record Overdub. 
  o Short cuts or button presses that would allow you to latch the Arppegiator (as well as turn it on or off) on the current track, without needing to go into the Preset Edit menus.  
  o A way to select the current ARP by holding down the ARP button and scrolling with the data wheel. 
  o Finer increments of Tempo resolution.  IE, tempos smaller than whole numbers. 
  o A way to select new Patterns without having to scroll.  Similar to Pattern Call functions. 
  o Track selection scrolling.  IE, if you are on Track 16 and press +, the track should jump to Track 1, not remain at Track 16.  
  o The ability to assign a 16 step recorded phrase as an Arppegiator, instead of having to enter it step by step.  
  o Real-time erase with range selection. Instead of having to hold the actual notes you want to delete while in real-time record, you should be able to hold the highest and lowest notes and everything in-between that range will get deleted. 
  o The ability to turn on a feature that would let all actions send out sysex data.  
  o The ability to stop at a certain measure while in grid recording. 
  o A way to set up markers within longer Patterns, so that only the measures within that range will loop, making editing sections of larger Patterns easier.  
  o The means to a shift an entire track by a certain amount, ticks and quarter notes.  
  o The ability to jump to a new Tempo without having to scroll to it, similar to the way Pattern Selection works during Playback. 
  o A means to filter different MIDI information before it gets sent to the MIDI outs, IE filter out program changes, CC's, etc. 
  o Fix the existing bugs first. 
  o The ability to specify whether Preset and FX Send information is also copied when you copy a Track to a new Track 
  o The ability to burn ROMs directly in the XL-7, without the need for an Emu sampler.  
  o A Preset Editor and/or Librarian included as part of E-Loader, so that user don't have to rely on sysex dumps for their Preset management.  
  o The ability to select whether the XX-7 will let the selection of a new Pattern change the tempo to the value saved with that Pattern, instead of having the tempo remain the same from Pattern to Pattern while playing back.  
  o The means to swap out tracks from other patterns during play back, allowing you to slowly morph from one pattern to another on a Track by Track basis.  Similar to Megamixing.
