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

Hmmmm. This is a good question; I am not sure if it has been 
discussed before. I haven't done much with E-Mu sysex in a while, but 
I will take a look if no one else has the answer. Let me make sure I 
understand what you want to do:
You want to be able to switch from one pattern to another via sysex. 
(That is, you don't want to change the notes in a pattern on the fly 
via sysex.)

If I remember correctly, you can simulate XMIX via remote control 
mode using sysex commands, but if I understand, you basically want to 
switch to a different pattern entirely.

It seems to me it should be doable; but I will have to dig oout my 
syex manual.
