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

It seems like every time I get a good amount of music written on this thing
I start running into problems. Like I had this song basically finished and
had my wife come and listen. I hit play and all my presets are fucked up.
Either the sound of the preset changes or the wrong preset ends up in the
wrong place when every thing was fine last time I used the machine.
Sometimes the preset sound is messed up but if I dial away and come back to
it it will be correct again until I go to some other patterns for a while
and come back. I know I had program change off on the channel with the
problem but I turned it on and that helped but things still seem to be
acting weird.

I seem to get occasional hiccups,  added sounds when patterns change,
presets sounding different from day to day. how can any one rely on this
thing live???? I hope it is just a matter of my own ignorance and not the
MP7 itself. I do name my presets to avoid messing them up.


what is everything I need to consider to make sure my MP7 remains stable
(right now it seems any thing but reliable) and to avoid messing up the wok
& presets that I have been working on. It seems lately that I can't
effectively save or even scroll through screens while playing.
