Re: Q (was "anyone?")

Shows you what can happen if you leave your XL-7's Arpeggiator on all 
the time.  Emu folks, this is a throw back to the E-Chip that did that 
filters in the Morpheus (many moons ago). You still don't have that 
working? (Real time resonance on a filter).  I had assumed that the 
reason that all of the modules and samplers since that groundbreaking 
instrument had implemented a weaker filter suite was to overcome that 
limitation.

Wow.

That being said, I do just run either a patter or an arp all the time, 
and I seem to be able to get things tweaky.  So it's a deficiency that 
can be tough to spot.
