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

1. Whats the deal with the effects, yeah they are a bit weak, but how 
does this whole "send" thing work. Am I right in thinking that the 
output send is a function of the PRESET??? Can this be so ridiculous? 
If I want a preset Becky Boise with a send3 output I have to save the 
kit as a special user preset even though the only difference is the 
send output. Surely the channel sends should be a function of the 
Pattern and not the preset.

>>>Depends on how you have your box configured.  If the effects are set to 
Multimode Control, then they get saved with the pattern.  If you set them 
up as "Preset on Channel X", then they get saved with the Preset.  Check 
the FAQ I wrote in the files section of this group, whole chapter on just 
this topic. <<<

2. Is it just me or do the Mod1 Mod2 Wild1 Wild2 knobs do nothing.

>>>Depends on the Preset, some use them, some don't. <<<

Where can I change the parameters of these knobs? They are programmable 
right? I understand how the Wild works with the beats mode but can we 
assign them to have a funciton on the non-beats presets also?

>>>Yes, you can change these in the Preset Edit mode, you want the 
Patchcords section (the letters A, B, C, etc correspond to the knobs). <<<

How can I change the length of a note that i have inputted using grid 
recording? 

>>>YOu can't yet while IN grdi mode, wait til OS 2.0, there's a great new 
addition that deals with this (fun stuff!).  In the meantime, you could 
use Scale/Shift Duration in the Pattern Edit menu to extend your notes. 
<<<

Does anyone understand the XX-7 step recording here?

>>>Everyone but you. :)  J/k! <<<

4. When using the Step recorder and viewing in 16th notes, How can I 
get 1.3 2.3 3.3 etc in the LCD display without having to play/pause? 
Pressing edit while the bar/beat is illuminated and then turning the 
control wheel only changes the whole bar. Wouldn't that be fancy if 
we could also scroll to half measures?

>>>Pressing Play while in Step Mode will advance you one step equal to the 
current input quantize. so you could set the input quantize to 1/2, then 
press play to advance one half measure. <<<
