Re: XX7 vs Doepfer Pocket Dial

2004-05-20 by mike

Thanks Aaron thought i was loosing my mind. :P

Can you give me some feeback on the cut off notes in external gear 
problem?  This is not new but it is bugging me again and again.

Any help or advice would be great.  I am also thinking that the 
current os for the comand station will be the last one as the new 
Emulator X is hitting the shops.  Am I wrong?

Take care 

Mike G.
