Lets all calm down here.  I think everyone knows that when you buy on 
the day a product is released, you pay the highest price. You wait 6 
months, and it goes down by several hundred dollars.  You are paying 
a premium for being the "first" to use it and review it.  Isn't it 
funny how the Roland VS series seems to drop by about a THOUSAND 
dollars after 8 months-12 months?  Do you really think it has 
depreciated that much?  Certainly not physically, but 
psychologically, yes.

Welcome to pure economics.  EMU is there to make money.  If you want 
to give it to them, you shouldn't complain, really.

Now go make some music, no matter how much you paid for this 
machine!!!

yes,i halfly agree. i also won't complain on the price cuz i must 
make my purchase decision b4 i put my money on the gears i'm in fond 
of.
but,nowadays,many products(like yammy aw4416/2816 and this command 
stations) are just unfinished for end-users to do beta-testing.
thats why i halfly agree w/ leonard's point, i won't complain on 
prices,but i'll complain on the buggy o.s.
and i sold the buggy gears and swear i'll never buy that kind of 
buggy newest gears again,i may buy them again in the latter days when 
its o.s. bugs was fixed completely.

They should have released the XX-7 cheap, and raise the price when 
this #"¤!)%# OS worked.

No really, I don't care if I spent $300 extra money just because I 
bought this thing when it came out. But I'm mad, I expected it to 
work, and I don't dare to bring this thing to live performance since 
it may suddenly crash.

btw, does the rest of you also have this specific problem, that the 
XX-7 crashes, and you have to use the power switch to restart it...? 
Just want to make sure it's the OS and not my XX-7...

Anyway, due to the buggy OS, I will probably never buy E-MU gear 
again. They should not have released the XX-7's at all before they 
worked.

It's a total lockup. Happends a few times every week. I'm using OS 
1.01

I have another problem as well. The big data knob (top left, don't 
remember the name of it =) acts very strange. When I change pattern, 
or do anything with it, it suddenly jumps from perhaps pattern 1 to 
something like 32, even when I turn it really really slow...

Very weird. Perhaps I should send this thing back to E-MU and ask 
them to fix it.

i haven't experienced any crashes or lockups,so i think ur xl7 may 
have some problems.
but i can hear its sound jamming in chaos when i changed the 
patterns,i think there must be some busy data changing
(presets/control data) between patterns change,so that the "fast but 
not really fast enough" cpu inside just couldn't catch up in 
time....thats why it had timing delay when switching patterns,but,in 
my case,not just delay,the sound was jammed in chaos...even though 
just for a half second.
