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

> E-Mu clealy refers to "4-layer synthesizer voices."

Sorry man, I'm not trying to pick on you here.  You're right.  That one
line in the manual is incorrect.  If you replace voices with patches or
presets, everything is alright with the world.

> Please show me in which manual or addenda there is any explanation

Page 152, Introduction to Preset Architecture: "XL-7 provides a 4 layer
instrument structure.  Each layer is a complete synthesizer voice"

Page 166, Voice Chorus: "Each layer with chorus turned on uses twice
the polyphony for that layer."

Page 170, Introduction to Z-Plane Filters: "XL-7 can produce 128
filters of up to 6th order or 64 filters of 12th order complexity. 
Therefore, if you decided to use all 12th order filters, XL-7 would be
limited to 64 voices."

I think everyone probably glossed over the introduction because, as I
said, every rompler/sampler manufacturer measures polyphony in the same
manner.  Sorry for the confusion.  Again, I'm not picking on you,
especially since you're a helpful member of the xl7 group, but to claim
that E-mu is trying to mislead you by having that single poorly chosen
word in the manual is a tad far-fetched.

How's about everybody smiles now?  (hoping to extinguish this minor
flame war...)
