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

I posted a reply earlier but it seems to have been lost. Anyway, the  gist was:

Using 'first note record' and quantize off you can record multichannel data, in real time + automation, from your DAW into a single multichannel track (set to Multi-A), copy to clipboard, then 'explode to tracks'.
Don't have the CS in front of me to check, but this has worked for me. 

Another possible solution is detailed here:
