I may have some time this week to test some things refarding clock 
issues. If I can make some time I will try to simulate the kind of 
setup you have (although with diffrent gear and software).

As I understand it, you want (1) clock and note data going out from 
the E-Mu to other gear and (2) CC data coming from one piece of gear 
going back into the E-Mubut without feeding the clock data?  Is that 
right? What other design features are important to the setup? Where 
do you currently have your midi interface/router? 

I should add that I have the P2500, but from what I understand, for 
the issues here realted to OS2.0, that shouldn't make a difference.  
(If anyone knows otherwise, please speak up.)

Here's what I do on the P2500 with OS2.0:

1. Press the CONTROLLERS button.
2. Set the knobs to PROGRAM.
3. Select a knob K1 . . K16.
4. Move cursor to second line: Ctrl: 1

I can assign each knob from CC 1 to CC 119. Each knob can be assigned 
to the Basic channel, or channels 01A --> 16B. Each can be set to 
send CC data to the internal synth engine, external gear, both 
internal and external, and the sequencer. I believe in seq mode, the 
channel setting of individual knobs is irrelevant.

Setting the knobs to seq in programmable mode allows you to record 
the CCs into your tracks. So I ran a test of the CC33-63 issue. The E-
Mu sequencer does indeed record all CCs from 1 to 119 inclusive when 
the programmable knob is set to send knob data to seq. I assume it 
will also send the same CC data to external gear if set to ext or 
both. 

Do you have OS2.0?
