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

The sequencer has several menus that affect these.  I am not in the 
same location as my gear, so this is from memory.

(1) To send a patch change command via one of the E-Mu's midi port, 
the track destination must be ext [external].

(2) To add a patch change command to a track, use the sequencer's 
event editor [prog].

I am not familiar with the SP-505, but I assume in order to prevent 
its patterns from playing, you have to make sure the e-mu's midi 
transport commands (eg, start) don't reach the SP-505. My instints 
tell me you probably need to this on the SP-505 side.

Hope this helps.
