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

Sorry to jump in on your discussion Aeon, but I have a quick 
question.  I am going to get a new rom this week, probably the 
Protean Drums, and slap it in my XL-7.  Once I download the PX-7 
patterns and songs to my XL-7, will they work w/o having to go and 
assign individual patterns to patches, etc.?
