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

I agree with AXR. I expected that the re-channelize function would do 
what he describes here.

Please add this feature. I care about this feature more than all the 
internal sounds, or filters, or effects or anything else, because 
this is something I expect all sequencers to do. I was suprised that 
the XL-7 didn't do this.
