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

Looks like my message wasn't sent. I'll try again. Sorry if I've said 
this twice:

When I set the port to Out A or Out B, and turn Re-channelize on, I 
do not wish the keypads to play the internal sounds (If I wanted this 
I would set the output to "Both"). And I want my MIDI keyboard to 
play the external ports when I select "Out A" or "Out B", not the 
internal.

All I want to know is: Are you planning to add this feature soon? If 
not I'll probably sell the XL-7 and get another sequencer.
