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

Never mind that stupid post. I confused this with another unexpected 
problem in my home studio. It's not the XL-7 which causes problem 
this time.

About the weird buttons and data wheels, perhaps I'm just unlucky to 
get two XL-7's which doesn't work well. I guess I should concider 
sending the XL-7 back again to get it repaired. 

My dissapointment will still be the bugs. But I hope to get them 
fixed now when a new OS release is on it's way.

Before replying and flaming me for my first post, first keep in mind 
that:

I'm sorry! Really. I was just mad when I wrote the post, because I 
hate problems with my music equipment.
