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

These are ALL very true needs (except maybe number 3, you could always make
your pattern one bar longer and then one shorter afterwards...) BUT, what I
want the MOST above ALL of these, is 2 up and down cursor buttons in
conjunction with the left and right ones! AHHH! Having to tick through 4 or
5 parameters just to get to the one starting the next line drives me up the
wall! I'm serious!!! When I'm editing, I want to be editing quickly, not
fidgeting through this minuscule text only LCD that's fairly comporable to
the one on my 15 year old MMT8! The MMT8 is even quicker to file through
when editing!

  Subject: [xl7] OS ideas we'd like to see implemented (summary)



  Just thought I summarize some of the things we have listed in the Wishlist
Database, see if anyone has any other ideas.  Keep in mind, I only included
things that could be reasonably implemented with an OS update (at least as
far as I know), so items such as "a larger display" or "USB device for back
up" wouldn't be feasible here, and thus weren't included.

  1. A way to see if a Preset is saved in Pattern or not as you scroll
through them in Preset view.  This would make it easier to free up memory
and overwrite User Presets that are no longer being used.  Similarly, a way
to erase or reset all unused Presets at once.

  2. The ability to record or enter Track Mutes in a Pattern and Song.

  3. A means to select and add a measure of silence at the end of a Pattern
while in real time record mode.  this would allow you to avoid writing over
the beginning of a Pattern when it loops around.

  4. The ability to make a layer sample playback in reverse.

  5. An Undo (Revert To Saved) keyboard shortcut, to make undoing a bad take
easier and faster.
