The numbers on my main screen wether its presets or patterns jump around when I am using the dial. It will jump back numbers. Then I have to slow down to a really slow speed to get to where I am going. Do I have to recalibrate. I did get a couple expansion roms?

I am having the same problem. I think I will try Some TV TUNER cleanning solution . . Or maybe RuBBING ALCOHOL - ANY THOUGHTS? ----- Original Message -----

I suspect this is a very common problem with the XX-7's , my last XL- 7 did it, I sent it in and they repleaced it with a new XL-7. After a couple of months my new machine started to do it again. Might be some problems about the XX-7 hardware itself. Also, some buttons is getting bad. When I buy the MC-909, I will use the XL-7 as sound module only, then I will not suffer much from the weird data wheel and buttons. //Nifflas --- In xl7@yahoogroups.com, "David DeciBel" <spec@s...> wrote: > Not mine...It's been doing it for about 4 months now..

I had the jumping numbers a couple of times, but it went away after
rebooting the MP-7. I can't readily duplicate the problem. I assume
it is an operating system issue -- maybe it will go away in the next
version.

Billy, Here was a message in the archives from September. From: "emufreak1" <mmcquay@m...> Date: Sun Sep 8, 2002 3:31 pm Subject: Re: My XL-7 is getting weird... Nifflas, There is a device connected to the data wheel called an encoder. That is what's going bad. What I do on mine is to apply slight pressure on the indentation(on the wheel)while turning in either direction. That eliminates the jumping for me.

M2,
I see your point. I have a different problem with the system.

I have the fortunate convenience of having a good friend that happens to be one of the best techs in the midwest. he looked at the encoder and jiggled it and said "looks like a piece of crap encoder..." - he said that basically it's cheaply made and so on. We sprayed some sort of lube on it which didn't really help. Now I don't know if he's just kinda second guessing or what, but I would like to get this fixed... My unit is no longer under waranty. Anyone know of a way to get a better quality encoder? EMU peeps? I wouldn't want to replace it knowing that it might go out again in 6 months... Thanks... Everything else is great... ----- Original Message -----

Friends - for the record (at least from my experience) the jumpy numbers thing is the wheel/encoder, not the OS. I had those replaced on my P2k and E4 - however - that was only after several years of heavy use. Not so bad really. Mechanical stuff wears out. Get it replaced and you should have no problems for a long time. However - this is the reason that I harp on the playpads-as-numeric- keypad OS option = an alternative way of entering values if the wheel goes down. peace and goodwill gv --- In xl7@yahoogroups.com, "David DeciBel" <spec@s...> wrote:

I know what you're referring to with your idea, and think its a good one. Keep in mind though that the key pads already to work as an alpha-numeric entry method when you are in any naming field. Use the transpose buttons to access more numbers and letters. Just a heads up for those that may bot have realized this. rEalm However - this is the reason that I harp on the playpads-as-numeric- keypad OS option = an alternative way of entering values if the wheel goes down.

Thanks rEalm - but again just to be clear (even for my own understanding) the function that you refer to is for naming only - the alphnumeric keypad thing as it is currently employed will not work for entering parameter values.(? correct?) I would love to see this: hitting 2 buttons (tba - for ex. Track/enable + Preset or?) simultaneously changes playpads C - A to 0-9; A# is (-); B is (+) and high C is ENTER - which also functions as EXIT alphanumeric mode and return to playpad mode. The E4 has the backup option of being able to plug in a QWERTY keyboard as an alternative to the wheel. But the Command stations have those great pads just waiting to be fully exploited. Just a thought - but a lifesaver if the wheel goes down at the wrong time - and a much easier way of switching patterns for live use (you come to understand intuitively that (C-E-E + hi C) means "044" etc. But hey I am not complaining - I LOVE the XL7 it is a killer machine that I am sure will continue to improve with time. gv
