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

1) Is it possible to use some of the Track Enable/Mute buttons to send a 
looped sequence of midi notes out the XL-7 MIDI Out A and/or B to the 
synth or sampler? 

>>>Yes, you can specify whether a track goes to teh internal XL-7 sounds, 
or to either MIDI out A or B.  It can also go to BOTH the internal sounds 
and external synths if you want. <<<

2) Is it possible to use the Keypads to trigger the synth or sampler like 
you would with a MIDI keyboard.

>>> Yes, I use it to control soft synths all the time. <<<

3) Is it it possible to use the trigger functionality to trigger a 
sequence of notes (instead of one note) to send out the XL-7 MIDI Out A 
and B.

>>>What you want is similiar to Roland's "RPS" or Korg's "RPPR" features. 
Unfortunately I don't think it's possible with trigger buttons.  You could 
program it as a regular track sent to a MIDI port though, and just use the 
track mute buttons to do the same thing. Albeit at a loss of a regular 
track though. <<<

4) Is it possible to change a Track for a Pattern in real-time without 
having to stop the performance. i.e. Change a loop for a track while 
continuing to play live. Or at the very least change the entire Pattern so 
that long live sessions are possible.

>>>Most definitely, and that's the way nmost of us do live work I would 
wager.  You can switch patterns on the fly quite easily, as well as switch 
between tracks for tweaking. <<<<
