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

Hi folks,

since noone commented on my posting Nr. 1316 (single notes without 
sound)except a frustrated user who mailed he was really angry about 
the same problem, I will repeat my question. The problem got worse: I 
experienced missing or not sounding notes in even the simpliest drum 
patterns quite often during the last days. You find the detailed 
steps below. I dont know if I´m missing something but I dont believe 
so. The guy who mailed, said its a bug. If so: Can I have an answer 
from one of the friendly Emu guys whats happening with this, if it 
will be fixed in tne next OS (when?), because I can´t put up with 
that any more. I have to make a decision on keeping this box or not.

Thank you for your precious time.

My elder posting:
Hi, can somebody here explain this, I went through the whole manual 
and the addendums but did not find an answer.

I recorded a mididrumfile from cakewalk sonar on track 1 of the mp-7. 
It contained - besides the kick, snare and some percussion - a 
hihat and cymbal pattern with 16th. The file is definitely not 
overloading the track, thers not much happening. Quantize during 
recording was set to "off". Playing back the unrecorded file was no 
problem at all. But after I recorded it, there are notes of the hihat 
pattern without sound. On some part of the pattern only one. On other 
parts more. No matter how often I tried this - allways the same notes 
do not sound. When I play back the recorded file very slowly I 
realize, the midi note seems to be there (or was it just a controller 
event?), because I can see the green light on, but the sound of this 
note is missing. I altered the quantize setting when I was playing 
back the file from 16 to 32. But still the same. I changed the preset 
kits - still the same problem. Is it a bug? I don´t think so, because 
its so "regular". Did I miss something?

Any help is appreciated. I spent a lot of time last night in trying 
to solve 
this.
