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

Could someone please explain to me what this means? 

"There should be a screen that lets you choose whether the song or 
patterns (or both) drive the program changes (as well as volume, pan, 
FX, etc)."

in pattern mode the "pattern" plays fine but when I go in song mode, 
my patterns sounds crappy and the contollers are weeirded out.
