There might be a way to do this with hidden sysex much like the song change sysex I posted earlier.  It's slightly more complicated though.  There's actually three pattern parameters, one that's playing, one that's next, and one that you're scrolling through with the knob.  Also, worse is that each of those is actually a combination parameter (meaning it's not just one value) so that'll be hard too.  I think if you just set the "next" pattern, it'll work, but I'm not entirely sure.

I'll look up the param and see if there's a way to do it.

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.
