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

Patterns and songs can be stored on the computer's hard drive and 
then burned to CD-R, RWs.  They will be stored as standard midi 
files. The size of each file depends on the data stored in the 
pattern. I have never backed up an e-mu sequencer that was at 0% 
remaining, so I have no idea how big the total of all patterns and 
songs can be.

Hope this helps.
