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

Sean, (if possible) please don't forget to add relative/jump settings for 
the knobs.  Then it would be almost like having endless rotary knobs!  Very 
handy when changing from volume tweeks to edit tweeks during a 
performance...

Nathan

>6. The ability to use Arppegiators as gating devices, so that they could

>7. Short cuts or button presses that would allow you to latch the
>Arppegiator (as well as turn it on or off) on the current track, without
>needing to go into the Preset Edit menus.
>
>8. A way to select the current ARP by holding down the ARP button and
>scrolling with the data wheel.
>
>9. Finer increments of Tempo resolution.  IE, tempos smaller than whole
>numbers.
>
>10. Change the Mix View settings so that it only shows 16 channels at a
>time, but with increased resolution for each channel.  It's too difficult
>to accurately see your volume levels with 32 channels on the screen at
>once.
>
>11. Track selection scrolling.  IE, if you are on Track 16 and press +,
>the track should jump to Track 1, not remain at Track 16.
>
>12. The ability to assign a 16 step recorded phrase as an Arppegiator,
>instead of having to enter it step by step.
>
>13. Real-time erase with range selection. Instead of having to hold the
>actual notes you want to delete while in real-time record, you should be
>able to hold the highest and lowest notes and everything in-between that
>range will get deleted.
>
>14. The ability to turn on a feature that would let all actions send out
>sysex data.
>
>15. The ability to stop at a certain measure while in grid recording.
>
>16. A way to set up markers within longer Patterns, so that only the
>measures within that range will loop, making editing sections of larger
>Patterns easier.
>
>17. A front panel short cut to the Randomize Preset function.
>
>18. The ability to jump to a new Tempo without having to scroll to it,
>similar to the way Pattern Selection works during Playback.
>
>19. A means to filter different MIDI information before it gets sent to
>the MIDI outs, IE filter out program changes, CC's, etc.
>
>20. A way to store and recall different Mute Button scenes within
>Patterns, so that each pattern can have more than 1 Mute status saved with
>it.
>
>21. The ability to specify whether Preset and FX Send information is also
>copied when you copy a Track to a new Track.
>
>22. The ability to assign an Arppegiator as well as Note number and Preset
>to each of the Trigger buttons.
>
>23. A Preset Editor and/or Librarian included as part of E-Loader, so that
>user don't have to rely on sysex dumps for their Preset management.
>
>24. A way to select new Patterns without having to scroll.  Similar to RPS
>and RPPR functions.
>
>25. Real-time preview of quantize settings in Pattern Edit so you can hear
>your changes as you make them, as well as new Groove Quantize features.
>
>26. A Record Replace mode, not just Record Overdub.
>
>27. The means to a shift an entire track by a certain amount, ticks and
>quarter notes.
>
>28. The ability to record and playback sysex in order to make changes to
>external gear.
>
>29. Triggers should be syncable (quantizeable) to tempo, so that playback
>is in time with the pattern when you activate a Trigger/BTS.
>
>30. The ability to burn ROMs directly in the XL-7, without the need for an
>Emu sampler.
>
>31. A way to allow the 16 knobs to control Volume, Pan, and Note Values
>for each step while in Grid mode, similar to an analog style
>step-sequencer.
>
>32. A means to dim the Lamp Socket via software.
>
>33. The ability to select whether the XX-7 will let the selection of a new
>Pattern change the tempo to the value saved with that Pattern, instead of
>having the tempo remain the same from Pattern to Pattern while playing
>back.
>
>34. A way to erase an entire Pattern at once, including Mute status.
>
>35. Change the front panel power button sot hat it must be held for 3
>seconds before it begins the count down to Power Off in order to prevent
>accidentally powering down live.
>
>36. The ability for the Pattern Mute status to be carried over when
>selecting a new Pattern to allow smoother switching between drastically
>different Patterns.
>
>37. A way to select if the Pan and Volume knobs are set to control Tracks
>or MIDI channels.
>
>38. The means to swap out tracks from other patterns during play back,
>allowing you to slowly morph from one pattern to another on a Track by
>Track basis.  Similar to Megamixing.
