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

The sequencer is trying to be smart and not send program changes it doesn't
need to.  Basically, if the preset on channel 1 for example is already the
same as what the program change would set it to, it doesn't send it.
Obviously, the XL-7 doesn't know what your external gear is doing, so it
assumes that your external gear is set to the same thing as your internal
channels.

There is a way to "fake it out" however.  For the tracks you want external
program changes, you can set the track to "ext" instead of "both" in the
second to last screen in the pattern edit menu.  Then, make sure that
internal channel is on some other program than you're trying to send
externally.  This should make the XL-7 see the program change as different
from what's already on that channel.  Then when it does send the program
change, since it's not changing the internal channels, it will always be
different.

If that doesn't work (which it should if done correctly) try recording (from
external midi) or inserting in your cubase source file 2 different program
changes back to back (i.e. 12 then 13), where the second one (13) is really
the one you want.  This forces the second program change to be different,
thus always sending it.  That way you can use the "both" routing if you need
to.
