Snap Mode for the knobs is first on my list. IE, the knobs don't change the associated parameter they're assigned to control until you pass that point in the knobs range. No more "jumping" parameters live :) rEalm can anyone think of anything that the xx-7's dont have that they actually need? [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

That would be really cool. I wonder why most companies don't implement that? I can think of two possibilities, one is that it eats way too much processor power that they want to use for sound things. Another is that maybe it is patented and involved an added expense to license the tech. i.e. both are costly.

I'd like to see the 'More' mode. Where turning the know just adds or subtracts from the signal, scaled to the rest of the knobs throw. Probably less useful with non 'endless' knobs on our box... bIz

Oh my god!!! This box needs that so bad that looking at the text on the screen will never get how strongly i feel about this out to EMU. Almost evry time I use the xl7 (this is almost evry day) i think of picking up a Doepfer "pocket dial" just for the reason that this problem would be over for ever, once and for all. It is 16 rotary potentiometers in a little box. They just keep turning and turning the point being that they pick up from where you where. No sudden jumps ever. If emu could impliment this "snap" mode I would be totaly ecstatic. EMU if there is one more thing you do with this box please make it that. This limitation of the xl has kept at least one other person i have talked with from buying the unit.

Can someone confirm that the Command Stations will respond to endless rotaries like on the doepfer. Not all synths will do it . . . You are right though, one of thos doepfers glued to the xl7 would be the bomb. Ravi

I know what you're talking about, called "relative" on some synths. Definitely a useful feature, unless you're already close to the end of the kobs range. rEalm I'd like to see the 'More' mode. Where turning the know just adds or subtracts from the signal, scaled to the rest of the knobs throw. Probably less useful with non 'endless' knobs on our box...
