Glad to hear some of your frustration was resolved with the 
multiseup solution.  I am not sure I understand what you are doing 
entirely, but if your E-Mu is a slave and all the note data is 
coming from an external sequencer, you need to have some sort of 
data (such as controller data setting the volume to 127) on the E-Mu 
tracks to preserve the settings. Otherwise, if the OS sees a track 
with no controller or note data, it will not save your preset 
settings.

If I understand what you are trying to do, take a look at:

This was part of a discussion about why channel assignments to 
external gear kept getting reset to internal when patterns were 
saved. You need some "dummy" data on the tracks to prevent the OS 
from thinking its an empty track.

Again, I am not sure I understand what have been trying to do, but I 
hope this helps you to get the most out of your gear.
