Again, the original intent of Audition Mode, which exists on all of the 
other E-mu modules, was for a quick way to just test out the preset. 
This is especially useful on the music store floor when you are wanting 
to listen to the potential of the box. Of course they are useful for 
other reasons too...

Auditions Riffs are stored with each of the available sound sets in ROM. 
In order to edit them you would have to move it to RAM, and then there 
would need to be a sequence editor. The other modules don't have the RAM 
to do that, and they don't have a sequence editor. That is one reason we 
developed the **-7 boxes - to take Auditions (and Beats)  to the next 
logical step.

In XL/MP-7 there are over a hundred sequences that come with the box 
that you can edit. That seems like a good starting point for 
*inspiration* to <presumably> then write your own sequences :-)

It might be a nice thing if there were a built in way to copy Auditions 
to a RAM pattern location. But again, there is already a round-about way 
to do it like I said, by sending them to an external sequencer and 
record back in. Another option would be for E-mu to post all the Riffs 
at the website. Or some other industrious user out there might be 
willing to do that while we work on other things... :-)
