Is there still no way to reverse a sample? 

Being able to turn looping on/off as seen on the UltraProteus (looped 
drum samples make great buzzing noises for filtering) would be cool 
too, but reverse is more important, for backwards cymbals, 
percussion, piano and so forth.

Also noticed that there is a Sample Loop (SLoop) patchcord 
destination, but the manual doesn't say whether it changes the loop 
length or offsets the loop points. Not sure how useful either of 
these would be...moving the loop points might make for some funky 
waveforms.

There are some other things still missing from the wishlist, like 
fractional tempos, arpeggiator Triggers, realtime (groove) quantize, 
etc., but I was very happy to see Direct Pattern Access (which will 
not surprise anyone who remembers me carping on about it) and XMIX 
(which is more immediate than MegaMix), so it looks like it may 
finally be time for me to start saving up for an XL-7...
