Unusual?  Well, I wouldn't send it in for servicing if that's what you 
mean.  Happens to a lot of MIDI gear, which is why so many have shortcuts 
for MIDI panic messages.  I haven't had a stuck note in long time though, 
probably before OS 2.0 came out....

OK, thats a quick and easy way that I didn't know about. Can I assume 
this is nothing all that unusual for these beasts?
Thx!

The main way I've ever gotten stuck notes on my XL-7 has been when 
I've mapped a mod wheel to the arpeggio gate param (I think that's 
what it's called -- I mean the param that controls the length of each 
note the arpeggiator generates) and shortened the note length 
abruptly, so the box was fooled into thinking it had already 
note-offed some notes it was still playing.

Or at least that's what it felt like was going on.

Exactly the same has happened to me. (At least in 1.32; I've not tried
it in 2.0.)

I only wish I was doing something comlicated like that. All that I 
was doing was staying on one pattern (which sends program changes to 
external midi gear) and muting/unmuting parts, and maybe using quick 
edit on a preset. I wouldn't think that would do a thing to clog up 
the midi stream, but ??????

Hehe, I've gotten stuck notes on gear when I was only playing a preset, 
not even running the sequencer.  It happens, as long as it doesn't happen 
too frequently, I woudn't worry too much about it.

Yeah, that has happened to me too with other gear, now that I think 
about it. So I will wait and see, maybe its not much of a problem at 
all.
