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

Hi Matt, good to see another of the Infected over here.

The answer to your question is "sort of". There's no direct 
equivalent of RPS but you can either use Beats mode (preset ROM 
phrases only) or the arpeggiators. You can program your own user 
patterns in the arps as mini-sequences and assign them to the Trigger 
buttons. rEalm has a post with more detail on this (see message 8816 
on this group). The arp patterns are monophonic (each step is a 
single note) so they're not as versatile as RPS but they may work for 
your purposes. It's a real shame there's no way to assign a track 
from a pattern to use as a Beats riff (which would make it more or 
less equivalent to RPS), but the arps are pretty nice. Hope that 
helps.
