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

I happily stand corrected! So I ******should****** be able to send 
prg chng say 05 on channel 5 and prg chg 5 on channel 10 with no 
problem. This would be advantageous to me, since I typically have the 
same patch number on two of my grooveboxes.
thanks again for the explanation, and no shit this group rocks!
