I haven't done E-Mu sysex in months, but I seem to recall that there 
are no sysex transport functions available via regular sysex or by 
remote control sysex. 

You might be able to do it via remote sysex by paging through menus 
and cursor positions (button/knob simulation).

I used this technique with two test projects:
(1) automatically ramdomizing and saving a bank of presets
(2) automatically storing multisetups in specific locations.

The pattern view will allow you to cue the next pattern.
1.  Place cursor under Next Pat value
2.  Rotate the main knob
3.  Press enter
When the current pattern finishes, the queued pattern will start.

That's basically it.  If you have done remote control sysex 
programming, it shouldn't be too difficult.  It may just take some 
time to develop the right algorithm for your needs. If you haven't, 
it will probably take a while.

Caveat: I have done remote control programming on the P2500, but from 
what I can see it should be the same under any E-Mu running OS2.0.

Footnote:  I am in much need of income, so if you are interested in 
contracting out the programming, I would be happy to work on the 
project.  (Contact me privately.)

Hope this helps.
