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

Greetings to all!

Yesterday a friend of mine brought his newly acquired XL-7 (bargain 
price, mint condition) to my place. I started by upgrading the OS to 
2.0, then showed him some tricks I've learned on my MP-7. "One of the 
cool things about arpeggiators", I told him, "is that you can latch 
them and go on playing other tracks". I proceed to demonstrate and 
bummer! As soon as I switch tracks, the latched arpeggiator stops.
I double-checked, and this doesn't happen on my machine.

I find it hard to beleive that his unit is flawed in such a specific 
and peculiar way. Any ideas on what's going on here?

best wishes,
Boris.

His machine is probably in omni mode instead of multimode.  For newly
acquired used units, I highly recommend realoding the default factory
multisetup (the last one, #63) or even better, doing a "Init Data
except Seq" in the diagnostics to reset ALL the user presets.

PS. as a side note, it's nearly impossible to have a "partially" broken
OS.  It should either work perfectly, or not at all.  This is why
reinstalling the same OS shouldn't make a difference.  It's not like
computer software where you get some weird conflicts with your new
video driver, or latest copy of M$ Office, etc.

Just to clarify, I meant that it would either work the way everyone
else's does or not at all.  By no means did I intend to imply that the
XL-7 OS always works perfectly.  Sorry for any confusion caused... =)

The real gist of this was that if your unit is behaving other than how
you think another unit does, it's probably because of some setting you
overlooked somewhere.

Gotta check, but this must be it.

Yup, that's exactly what I meant by saying "I don't beleive his unit 
is broken in such a specific way"!

Thanks Aaron!
You're great as usual :-)
