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

Of course!!!

 I don't have the emu here with me, but I think is on the global settings menu where you find it. 

Important: you must get used to design your user patches without any effect. 

I normally DO NOT use effects on my user patches on the emu.  Why?  they are quite poor, but there are some very cool reverbs.  However, I consider the command station as a "dry synthesizer" 

Actually, you can have a two effect selection and routing per pattern. The main effects, each time you change pattern, they will change. 

When assigned to main bus (using the effects selected from the global menu, you have FIVE options per patch to send effects.

you can use:  USE PATCH SELECTION:  there are different effects sending per each voice inside the patch (4)
SEND1, SEND2, SEND3, SEND4. 

so this method is very very flexible!


In my head, the effect section is called FILTER on the EMU.  Actually, UBULATOR  and other weird filters on the aMAZING filter section are the effects, they change the connotation of an instrument sometimes in drastic ways. 

just work a lot on the patch cord to modulate them.  Sometimes the Q (resonance???) does not work like Q on some effects. 

As a note apart, I have throw my headphones against the foller when navegating the twelve order filters,  with the combination of certain high resolution samples on some ROMS.  I HATE THIS.  Is like increasing the gain of a patch to +100x with a resonant filter set to 127 on its resolution.  craizy horrible timbres.

============ ======

can that be done? is there a way to assign effect settings per pattern?

or do i have to assign a preset on a certain channel to control the 
effects in multi-mode?

i'm lost again... you can assign effects into the sequencer (pattern?), 
without assigning them to a patch? that's what i want to do... how can i 
do it?
