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

This morning (while trying to figure out how to better explain E-Mu's CC funtionality, I came up with thge following:

Some background definitions:
1. Let's say "pre-programmed" CCs are those that have across the board functionality in the P2K-based synth engine. (E-Mu uses this term.)
2. Let's say "standard" CCs are the ones the MMA lists as recommended associations of CCs and functionality.
3. Let's say CC's can have either >>general<< usage (users are free to route those CCs to whatever they want) or specific usage (those CCs always refer to specific functions.

This basically sets up a 2 x 2 table of CCs with 4 categories as follows:

1A: pre-programmed, general usage (6) 
01 = mod wheel
03 = after touch
04 = foot pedal
07 = volume
10 = pan
11 = expression

2A: pre-programmed, specific usage (11)
79 = mix outputs
80 = arp status
120 = all sounds off
121 = reset all controllers
123 = All notes off
0, 32 = bank select
124 -> 127 = mode selectors (if enabled) [onmi on/off, poly on/off]

1B: user definable, general usage (19)
[not pre-programmed, although there are defaults]
MidiA -> MidiP as defined in the Controllers section
FootSwitch 1 -> 3 as defined in the Controllers section

2B: user definable, specific usage (2)
Tempo Up
Tempo Down

Did I miss anything?
