just try to type MIDI on a 7 seg display...
probably a buffer overflow. you send to much if you see that

gee, I never realized it could be read like this!
it sais dE Ad for defragment address
thats hard to explain. we need to defragment the loop if there is not an 
entire older loop to jump back too. and in rare cases we do not have the 
addresses to do so.
short: 
it happens if you do a lot of retrigger and reverse and such, especially 
when long loops in little memory.

hehee, nope, does not need sysex at all
we were lazy to complete a big table for the display, 
because Eric had created a little program to compose the main part, but 
after the years we could not find that...
its a range that is hardly ever used, so we placed the face instead
and we were right to do so, because hardly anybody has seen the face
I think Claude Voit was involved... and thought we should keep it a 
secret...
