crashing when plugging in external keyboard/controller
2003-11-17 by trusolman
the first day i got the MP-7 i started sequencing right away and decided to plug in my Oxygen-8 controller to play chords into the machine. it instantly froze up and i had to restart it. i assumed it was just a problem with plugging in the controller with the machine on so i turned it off, plugged in the Ox-8 and then turned it on. worked fine for a while, but noticed the MIDI in light constantly flashing on the MP-7. also after several hours of sequencing (maybe 3) it froze up on me again. when i tried to erase some notes via the erase button on the MP-7 and the keys on the Ox-8. the erase button would not stay lit while the pattern was playing back, so i stopped it and that was all she wrote. frozen! anyone else have similar problems? is this something wrong with the MP-7 or does it sound like the Ox-8 is creating the problem. i have not really tried the MP-7 by itself for any extended period of time. also to E-MU reps, can you guys update the OS to allow copying/pasting of more than one track at a time? would make things a lot easier.
