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

I am trying to use an E5000 to layer sounds up in conjunction with 
the XL-7 and am getting no where no matter who i ask.  

This is a basic example of what i am wanting to do.

Lets say i have a preset in the XL on chanel 1. And a preset in the 
E5000 on chanel 1.  All i am trying to do is use the quick edits on 
the XL to control the filter cutoff in both the presets.  

Simple right?

Well not so simple as far as i can tell.  For some unknown reason the 
E5000 only alows me to select up to controller #31 (like this is not 
odd enuf).  The CC's in the XL for all the quick edit knobs are hard 
fixed and can not be changed to accomadate the sampler.  

Now this is honestly making my head spin at this point i have called 
tech support at E-MU and talked to the people that sold it to me and 
the best answer i get involves me running my midi out through the 
sampler and off the through on the sampler back into the XL.  this is 
just stupid.  And on top of it i am using the Through for other 
things.

I just want this fo work, am i asking too much here?  this should be 
a simple thing should it not?

If anyone has any ideas for this question i want to hear from you !!!


Peace 

Mike
