Eric, this has been a lot of work for sure and its been a great job 
too! Man, thank you, Emu should pay you for that! It would serve very 
well for upgrading the manual!

All the best

The FAQ looks great!  Thanks a bunch for doing this.  If there's
anunaswered questions that I can help answer, I'd be more than willing
to help.

Again, thanks for your hard work!

rEalm, Hey I had to put my 2% in. The FAQ looks good. If I can think 
of anything I will contact you.

There is a problem with the FAQ:
The Command Stations can control up to 64 MIDI channels, not 512! 
There are 32 internal MIDI channels(times 4 layers per preset equals 
128 voice polyphony) which are named 01A through 16A and 01B through 
16B. There are 2 MIDI outs(MIDI Out A and MIDI Out B) with 16 MIDI 
channels each for a total of 32 external MIDI channels. 32 plus 32 
equals 64. Got it? There are 16 sequencer tracks and each can control 
up to 16 channels, but this is of course limited to the channels that 
are available to the Command Station.

P.S. I'm surprised that someone as knowledgable as you rEalm would 
miss that one ;)

I still think that that part of the FAQ is misleading and should be 
changed to avoid confusion on an already complex issue. 64 MIDI 
channels are available to program. Yes, you can program the hell out 
of them, but your document implies something else...
