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

Anybody else noticed this?  Up until I upgraded the OS I have had my 
XL7 connected via SPDIF to my digital mixer.  Every once in a while 
I would here a loud click/pop over my monitors from the XL7.  I 
thought it was a clock sync issue.  However, since upgrading to the 
new OS I have been exclusively using the XL7 with headphones (keeps 
my legs warm while sitting on the bed).  Sony MDR-7506 Pros to be 
exact.  Anyway, I am still hearing the pop/click ... OK so only 
twice in the last few days.  Definitely not as frequently as 
before ... but still there.

disconnect the digital all together?

Sorry, I should have made this more clear. 
The SPDIF cable is disconnected.  The only thing connected to my XL7 
apart from the AC cord, are my headphones.

I get that too sometimes (with all the OS's BTW) when the level is too 
loud, or I've got some crazy resonances going on in a patch.  Try turning 
down the volume a bit and see if that helps!

I've noticed clicks and pops as well with some patterns, and it seems 
to happen only when I've changed a preset within the pattern.  Could 
be a sudden envelope(decay)transition?  If I replace the preset again 
with a more percussive one the clicks disappear.  
The new OS is great, BTW.  I haven't really used the Beats mode yet 
but just the general tightness and improved reliability (no freeze-
ups!)are wonderful.  
E-mu rocks!

Actually, any time that I notice the pop/click, the XL7 is not 
playing anything ... the sequencer is stopped and no sounds are 
being played.

One thought I have on that is this.
This could be a power surge from sompthing being turned on or off in 
you house, like a washer of dryer.  Is you xl pluged in on a circut 
in your house with sompthing like this?

that could be it.\

I do get clicks all over the place if I combine certain presets 
together in a sequence on my P2500. IE; using the following preset 
together: If I use preset 000/bank3 "Richness" with 15 other tracks, 
and use it again on a second or third track, it happens all the 
time.  Also if you use a "Lead" category (monophonic) preset in a 
multi channel sequence it happens. Try using a polyphonic preset 
instead (this was the solution EMU gave me). Yes I did call them to 
describe the problem.... It has to do with the presets, not sure what 
causes it ! -Steve
