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

Wow, that's an impressive string of sysex there Steve!  As a note of
caution, this approach will get you bumping into "compacting flash
needed" land very quickly, especially if your songs are big.  I'll be
home Tuesday and will try to check the code then and let you know the
results.

Oh, and by the way, the "secret" bank (80,00) to change multisetup was
before my time at E-mu.  That said, it's a pretty damn cool way of
switching multisetups via external gear that could only send a program
change.  It's available in every E-mu product that has a bank of
multisetups (i.e. any ROMpler product).  If it wasn't there, you'd
probably have to do some sysex like Steve's!

Finally, Jaime, why wouldn't you want the XL-7 on stage with you?  It's
cool looking.  Also, you can switch patterns with a single button press
in song select trigger mode.  Dunno, I guess since the XL-7 was
designed for live tweaking use, I don't expect it to be sequestered off
stage.
