Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

I find the cryptic reference to Agatha Christie, to be more than a 
thinly vieled attempt to address the ventilation of the unit. And don't 
you go offering me some free gift, I think the big black plastic is 
obviously shoulders, not ears.I have never experienced any overheating 
of any kind with the MP-7. I have experienced this with Ensoniq, and 
Sequential Circuits though, too hot to touch.Agatha Christie is a 
mystery to me, and I may accept the odd chance that the big black 
plastic ends are actually intended as HIPS, not shoulders; but Ears? I 
would never remove them, it's just not done. ESW.
