Right... But is there a big difference in the Rev A and Rev F 
manuals?  The reason I ask is b/c when I was reading thru the FAQ, I 
realized there are a LOT of things that my manual makes no mention 
of, like Beats mode and shortcuts, etc.  I guess those are features 
that were added as the OS was upgraded.  I've got this great machine 
sitting in front of me, and I want to make sure I have all the 
available information about it :)

Having said that, should I just wait for the next revision?  I assume 
it will have all the 2.0 relevant stuff in it, but how long will it 
take for it to be released?  Emu people help me out here! :)

I would assume so... Rev F is available off the Emu website for 
thirty bucks...

Yeah, all my arps are set up as part of the preset... I wasn't even 
aware you could set up an arp in the pattern edit screens.

Maybe it has something to do with the way I trigger it... I go into 
step record, put in a single note where I want the arp to begin, then 
go into the Pattern edit menu and use the NOTE function to lengthen 
the note so the arp plays for the length of the pattern.  Should I be 
using a different approach here?  This just happened to be the first 
method I came across that worked, so maybe it's not the *right* way :)

Thanks for the help...
