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

Congratulations of your purchase. I hope you come to appreciate the 
E-Mu sequencer and P2K synth engine like many of the users here.

I am not entirely sure what you mean by "load a sequence." For the 
moment I will assume you are asking how to switch sequences 
[patterns] that you have recorded/programmed/uploaded to you XL-7. I 
am assuming that you are **not** asking how to load a midi file into 
the XL-7. 

Once you have patterns in your box, you can step through sequences 
by assigning a footswitch to Sequence+ [Controllers menu system]. 
(There may be other ways, but I think this is the most basic.)

As for using program changes to switch sequences, I don't think you 
can do that--but I will have to think about that. For the most part, 
program changes change presets. Off hand I can't think of how you 
can use them to change patterns.

Hope this help.

Hmmmm. Which foot controller do you have, and more importantly, can 
it send sysex command strings? If so, there **might** be some 
options using sysex to switch sequences. (I'd have to check the 
sysex manual.)
