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

Hey Matt, welcome to the group, nice to see another Virus user here :)

1. As was mentioned before, there is no way to assign drum parts to 
individual keys.  You need to use Keymapping and the the 4 layers, 
combined with Preset linking to get yourself a custom 12 voice kit, which 
really isn't as bad as it sounds.  I mean, how often do you need more than 
12 drum sounds in a song.

However, because you're talking about the PX-7, you also get to use the 
special features that ONLY THAT ROM has, namely the ability to mix and 
match layer in a preset, while retaining the factory keymapping.  It's 
much fancier sounding than it is, basically you can swap out things like 
HH's and percussion parts by changing the Preset Layer.  Full info in the 
PX-7 manual, available on the Emu site (or I can send you the Drum ROM 
manual).

2. The XX-7's have quite a few exclusive groups you can assign drum sounds 
too, for doing the CHH/OHH thing.

I read two entries in the FAQ that need some exploration first though...

Can anyone speak more about...

1. The limits of creating custom drumsets.

2. The challenge of handling mutually exclusive groups, such as
open/closed hihats
