(Note: Quoting an entire digest isn't necessary.)

I have an Emax w/SE upgrade, and the thing I haven't seen in any other box
since is the "Cruz Control" arpeggiation, which changes the length of notes
to fit all the keys you're pressing.  (IE: Press 3 keys and you have 3/4.
Press 7 keys and you have 7/4 in the same space of time.)


And here's a general Emu question:  Why do arpeggiators always seem to
extend upwards, rather than having it selectable?  (I was even thinking of
an extension scheme that wraps around.)
