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

Hi all,

I'm trying to program keyboard splits on MP-7.
In some cases, using layers within a preset is good enough
(e.g. two layers for bass, two layers for pad).
But sometimes I want to have fatter sounds, or need a 3-way split;
it seems that "Link Presets" feature is most suitable for this.
Now the problem is, the linked preset doesn't sound like it does on 
its own. I understand it's somehow related to modulation cords (maybe 
it gets the initial controller amounts from the master preset?), but 
just combining two existing presets on one midi channel becomes a 
tedious process of tweaking both of them, removing and changing 
patchcords, envelopes etcetera. Isn't there an easier way?
