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

Thanks Steve.
I am using the BRAND NEW Roland FC-300 pedal.  BTW, yes, this pedal 
does send sysEx.  I tried reading the midi implementation guide, and 
it's honestly not making much sense to me.

I'll be your friend for life if you can take a quick look and figure 
this out for me.  I REALLY want to be able to press 1 button to load 
all my patches on my synths as well as a sequence (SONG MODE) on the 
XL-7

Thanks again for your help,
Jamie
