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

Also, if you are just using the Quick edit Knobs (nothing in Preset
edit), you can insert a single controller event for each knob at the
beginning of your pattern. In this situation you would not need to save
the preset into a user location. This works great when you are using the
same preset on different MIDI channels. The quick edits will work
properly for each channel. Check your manual for a complete list of the
knob's controller numbers. This is best when used just for a few knobs,
i.e., you lowered filter cutoff and  raised Q. If you did a lot of
tweaking and you would like to use the tweaked new sound in future
patterns then saving the preset to a user location is best.

My rule for working is; modified sound = insert controller data, 
tweaked sound is different and has a whole new characteristic  = add it
to my user banks (512 locations).
