infinite note-on caused by sample delay

2003-05-17 by Wesley D

Ok.  I'll go ahead and mention that I haven't actually gotten an XL7 yet.  I'm using an XL-1, but hey, the user group sucks for it.  Also the synth engine is pretty damn similar, so hopefully someone will be able to help me out here.

with that said:

I have a bass, it has like an eight bar LFO routed to the filter.  When I increase the value for sample delay, it responds as it should,  With the sample being offset more as the value increases.

The problem starts when I take the value below zero, into the bpm area.  If I go so much as 1/32 the bass enters a permanent note-on stage causing me to have to power down.  The weird thing is that the tone is produces is pretty wicked, and I really like it.  So I'm trying to figure out how to use some slight bpm driven sample delay without crashing my poor Emu.  

the manual makes me thing it has something to do with the long LFO wave.  But still, it's supposed to offset the start of the LFO, not force it to enter the twilight zone.  

Anyone ever experienced this?  or know what to do?
