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

Oh - like someone once said, that's different! Here is what I was 
trying to say:
I use an EA1, ER1 and DX200 to come up with patterns using their 
internal sequencers, which are cool but limited. So what I was hoping 
to do was dump the sequences from these boxes into a standard midi 
file, mess with them [especially the DX which only has 16 notes per 
sequence], and combine them with the standard midi file that I write 
from using the internal sequencer on the XL7. At that point, I want 
to dump the whole thing back into the XL7, and use it to control the 
other boxes. The XL is then the master sequencer when I want to go 
live.
OR - are you saying I have to create the external gears sequences 
using the XL7's sequencer?
thanks again and sorry if I am being slow here.
