from the FAQ located in the files section.  Basically, set your desire
tracks' master fx to have a send 0.


-How do I use the effects in the Command Station, I don't understand 
the sends?
First of all, there are two effects available in the Command Stations 
at all times, regardless of whether you're only playing a single 
Preset, or a Pattern with 16 Tracks playing at once. You can use the 
effects in two main ways, each selected from the Global menu. The 
first way is where the active Preset you're playing controls what the 
effects will be, and therefore all the effects settings are stored 
with that Preset. This way works best if you're only playing a single 
Preset at a time, from a master keyboard in a live situation for 
instance. 

The second way of using the effects is in Master Effects mode. In 
this case, all Presets share the same two effects, and the effects 
and all their settings are saved as part of each Pattern. However 
being able to only turn the effects on or off for each part is not 
very flexible, so Emu uses effect Sends to increase your options with 
only two effects. Just like there are only two effects for the entire 
Command Station, there are only four Sends for the entire unit as 
well. The send amounts for each effect are freely assignable in the 
Global menu. Here's an example of how they work. For instance, say 
your first effect is a reverb, and your second is a delay. You can 
specify how much reverb you want to be applied to Send 1, as well as 
how much Delay you want to be applied to Send 1. Say you set your 
reverb amount to 5% on Send 1, and your delay amount to 27% on Send 
1. In this configuration, any Track you route to Send 1, will have 
about 5% reverb on it, and then it gets about 27% of the delay effect 
added to it. Simple huh? If you only wanted reverb for instance, you 
would just set the delay amount for that Send to 0%, and now all 
Tracks routed to Send 1 will only have reverb applied. BTW, you can 
assign more than one Track to a Send, and you've got 4 Sends to use 
for your whole Pattern, giving you lots of ways to use only those two 
effects processors.

there a reason for this?  I jammed out hardcore lastnight and the MP

kept accidently hitting it while hitting the track buttons. :/

want to come back out of grid record while still playing.  Press rec 
instead (punch-out).
