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

Since I have the P2500, I will defer to others on this--I don't have 
pads. I use external controllers. 

One of the flow charts from one of the OS Addendas shows the logical 
flow of the pads.  Perhaps it is the latest XL-7 manual. This might 
help. There are two paths for the pads--one through the KEYBOARD 
TRANSMIT MIDI (on/off) menu, the other through LOCAL CONTROL.

The synth engine seems to get data from the pads (1) when 
RECHANNELIZE is off and (2) when set to int via Sequencer Track 
Routing.

It would seem that if you have RECHANNELIZE to always and route a 
particular track to external gear, only the external gear should 
sound from the pads. The chart does not lead me to believe the pads 
are hardwired to either the internal synth engine or to channels 1-
16A.  However, I will gladly defer to Command Station owners.

Again, since I have the P2500, I can't test this, but based on the 
chart, this might be what you are looking for.
