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

Good to hear from you on this, Aaron. I never did much of anything with step mode before, but a few weeks ago when the question was raised I explored it a little. Could you take a look at what I wrote up, let me know if I have it right, if there's anything to add, etc.?  Obviously, I missed the part about pressing play to advance to the next step. Thanks.
