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

I want to use my mp-7 to control cakewalk's sonar and project5. What 
is the best method for doing this? Is there a way to send info from 
the computer so that parameters in softsynths are visible in the mp-
7? If I program the knobs to control certain aspects, will I be able 
to save the settins or do I have to reprogram everything everytime I 
restart the program? And also, does the mp-7 send the exakt same 
information when turning knob#1 when in quick edit mode as when 
turning it while in volume mode? I appreciate all the answers I can 
get.
