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

Hello all.  

I don't own an XL-7 yet but, I hope I will soon.  I am currently a 
MC505 owner and one of the things that bothers me about the Roland 
sequencer is:  If you have an 8 bar pattern and you trigger a long 
sound (let's say a pad) in the eighth bar, it's sound will cut off 
when the pattern loops back to bar one.  Has anyone tried this on the 
XL-7 or MP-7?  What about a note that was held through the end of bar 
8 and into bar one?

Thanks in advance.

That bothers us too, so we made sure that if you hold a note past the
last bar of your pattern it continue to play and if you like, it is
recorded as well. No cut offs in the XL / MP-7.

The notes seem to cut off when i hold them past the end of the loop 
when i record in pattern mode, is this what you are talking about?

Yes it is anoying and would love it if it did what is says below,

what am i missing?

Is there sompting i have to do to set this up ?

thanks for your time

Mike

No, just make sure you release the note *before* you played it in the
measure.  For example, in a 4 bar pattern, if you play a note at 3.1 (the
first beat of the third measure) that you let it up before 3.1 the next time
around the loop (i.e. sometime during the fourth beat of the second measure).
