Whew! Well it took me a lot longer than I thought it would, but I finally got the draft of the FAQ posted. Here's a link: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xl7/files/Command%20Station%20FAQ%20ver1.00.htm Please feel free to let me know of any errors, or things you'd like to see added to it. I'm sure the Emu folks will find some errors too. Enjoy and let me know what you think, rEalm

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!

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

I never meant to imply that you could run 512 channels at once, but you
can program that many. If you have 32 internal midi channels, each of
which CAN be programmed with 16 seperate tracks, you get my drift. True,
polyphony would definitely be an issue long before you reached that limit.

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...
