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

Thanks for the answers, I have explained questions 1 and 3 in more 
detail below.

The difference between my Question 1 and 3 is that I am referring to 
the modes that the XL-7 has. As far as I am aware you can set the 
buttons to use "Track Enable/Mute" or "Triggers". 

Q1. I want to be able to send a sequence (loop) out the MIDI Outs to 
my synth and/or sampler instead of to the XL-7 internal sounds. For 
example button 1-4 enable/mute the loops for the XL-7 internal drum 
set. Then button 5-8 are configured to enable/mute loops that are 
sent to my Virus b via the XL-7 MIDI Out A, then buttons 9-12 to my 
sampler via MIDI Out B.

Q3. When the buttons are in "Triggers" mode I know it is possible to 
send one note to an external device such as my sampler, but is it 
possible to send a sequence of notes (a loop) that I have programmed 
(i.e. not just an arppegiator of one note)

Thanks,
Glenn
