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

ya Bruce this is kinda lame indeed. When using many of the presets 
this feature seems to be working fine but i haven't done the digging 
to see how they got around it yet.  

I own an E5000 and it works fine in this respect so i dont know why 
it is the case with the synth inside the XL-7.  
What is up with that?

I don't understand why some of the instraments of the modern age are 
dumping some of the sound sculpting tools and abilities of the synths 
of old.  It seems odd to me, like if the thing can handle 128 notes 
there must be the power under the hood to have the filter sweepable.  
I am not a code wrighter so i cant say that i know how thies things 
are made today but this is just a general comment on how electronic 
instraments are changing.

The bottom line is i am just glad that the E5000 is in my rack and 
the filters in it don't work the same way as the XL-7's
