happy but hickups

happy but hickups

2002-03-14 by coscon23

dear EMU-people (especially Aaron!)

i just got the mp7 and i LOVE it immediately.... this is the best 
instrument i bought EVER!
after reading this groups' messages, i was a bit worried about the 
difficulty of the sequencer but i think it's made as simple as 
possible and i can do everything i want without even reading the 
manual - i'm trying not to boast here, just complimenting the 
programmer ;-)
one thing i knew about before buying it was the fact that people 
complained about the timing hickups when changing patterns... i have 
to say, regretfully i'm having the same problems sometimes... these 
hickups tend to come up when i didn't save or hadn't pushed the stop-
button thrice. so... for ex. i copied the same pattern 6 times... 
didn't save/ pushed stop 3 times... hickups occur.
after saving/ pressing stop... no problem
when muting tracks in pattern 1.... going to pattern2... coming back 
to pattern 1.... hickup (imo cause of "remembering" the mutes and 
recollecting them)... 
maybe if the mutes aren't remembered cq. the pattern is the same as 
saved earlier and not considered "unsaved" these hickups would stop 
happening?

i didn't have the time to test this theory thoroughly (just used one 
pattern, no difficult cc messages/program/sound/changes), but since 
you guys are busy with the new os, maybe you can fit this in if it 
isn't a too bad idea.

anyways.. i'll go back to my mp7... i hear her calling... she must 
need me....mmmmm
