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

Is there a way to reset the machine to factory defaults? I bought the
XL7 used, and it has a lot of songs on it from the previous owner. I
would like to reset it. Can't find it in the manual or the FAQ.

When powering up the unit, depress the cursor keys (<  >) which will 
put you into diagnostics mode.  Scroll to option 16 and hit enter.  
You will have to reload patterns via E-Loader and make sure you save 
any custom presets that you may have created.

Ron,

How did the reset go for you?

Oh, that worked perfectly. A clean slate. Thank you.

I'm curious, though. So I started with freshly reset, completely empty
machine. I spent about an hour doodling in one two bar pattern.
Nothing fancy, just checking out features. When I went to save, in the
top right hand corner it showed "78%". The manual says that this is
"Remaining memory". If that one little doodle takes up 22%, the fun is
not going to last long...

-Ron.

My experience has been that the XX-7 units without any patterns or  
songs are close to the 78% available, which to me says that the  
patches and OS take up the 22% of flash memory that is in use.  
Perhaps Aaron can elaborate on this for us.
