Just bought my MP-7 and I have a question already...

2002-12-04 by tj297

presets and messing around. one thing jumped out at me as 
odd...please tell me there is some way to stop the Tap Tempo 
light from blinking all the time. it's really annoying and i couldn't 
find anyhting in the manual. thanks.

soft-power reset...

Nope, sorry, there's no way to turn off the annoying light.  I would
recommend that you upgrade to OS verison 1.32 right away.  There are some
lock up problems that were fixed in that os...

http://www.soundwarfare.net/command132.zip

There's the release from the update.

And HERE's the release notes:
---------------------------------------------

                                            E-MU

                                 Software Release
Notes

Purpose of this software

This is a maintenance release of software for the
XL-7/MP-7/P2500 Operating System.

The MIDI download file for update is command132.dli.
Downloading this OS file will update the OS software
while retaining the "configuration" (i.e. XL-7 vs.
MP-7 vs P2500) of the original unit. This can only be
downloaded into a unit with and updated boot sector
supporting OS compression.  The included file
commandprep10.dli will update any boot
sector to version 10, which supports OS compression.

CRC for MIDI download is EB8A2E65


Problems fixed in this release

* Song to Pattern to Song bug fixed
* Save while stopped auto-RTZs
* Changes to Preset, Mix or Arp from the front panel
now disables that for the track until the next pattern

* Save menu now defaults to the most appropriate
screen when both a sequence and a pattern are dirty.
* Arp extension interval bug fixed
* Restart/Fire key combo: hold play and press stop as
often as you want to restart the current sequence or
instantly start playing the queued sequence.
* Quick Erase track feature: while not in list edit,
grid edit or step edit, holding erase and pressing a
track button will erase all events on that track, even
while recording.

Installation procedure
 Download via ELoader or OSDownloader

You could put some electrical tape over it :)  Sorry, but a lot of gear 
has those flashing lights, not much you can do about it sans a soldering 
iron...

Pressing the Power button on the top of the unit, not the one on the back. 
 A lot of us have accidentally turned off out XX-7's after hitting that 
button by mistake, oops!
