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

i deleted my posts to edit but alas. that is nice to know about the sp origins. with multitracks, if there is only one track playing at a time(by track i mean pattern) and both track buttons are pressed at the same time to switch over it seems very stable. as long as you press them a split second before the notes play

this is for live and roughing out a track though. to record a song accurately one would extend the pattern to 32 bars and paste a few times in song mode. then live record the track(pattern) mutes while in song mode and every 32 bars be prepared to stop the sequencer and restart or something because all track mutes will reset as the pattern loops. then go back and micro edit the mutes 

or say ef it and transfer the sequence to computer lol
