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

Okay, bare with me now, cause i'm pretty much still a beginner, but I 
just started sequencing all my drum tracks multi channel.  My friend 
who has an MP-7 turned me onto a cool technique using multi channel 
tracks.  It's like having a whole drum kit all in one track, even 
though I just use the basic single-type presets such as snare-1 and 
kick-1.  I can start track one, which sequences to channels 1a - 6a 
(snare, kick, hat, etc...) and drop out stuff I don't want via the 
volume knobs.  This works for any tracks I do as long as I sequence 
them with the same channels.  It seems that I get alot more free 
tracks that way.  Instead of having only one main drume sequence 
using 6 to 8 tracks, I use only 1 track and just use the volume knobs 
to mix the different stuff in.  Most of you guys probably do this 
anyways, but I thought since it's pretty slow I'd post anyways.  
BTW... rEalm, I love your stuff.  Keep up the good work and keep this 
forum alive!
