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

Hello all. I recently bought an XL-7 and I have a few questions about 
it. How do set the effects to just play on certain parts? When I add 
effects, it affects all parts (drums, bass, synth...etc). Also, is 
there a way to solo a part quickly while the pattern is playing, or 
do I just have to have quick enough fingers? Any help would be 
appreciated. Thanks.

I Had this one early on..
Have a look @ page 211 in the manual "Effects". Look @ the 2 block 
diagrams on pages 211 and 212, they tell it how it is ;o)
I guess your using your XL-7 in multimode, in which case to start 
with set the "FX Multimode Control" in the global menu to "Use Master 
settings"
In "MIX OUTPUT" in the Global menu you can select the routing of your 
tracks / channels to 1 of the 4 sends.
If you make sure that say send 2 in FXA or FXB Send Amount is @ 0% 
anything that you send to send 2 will be dry with no effect.
In these 2 screens you setup the amount of desired effect in %.
There global settings so any track / channel say routed to send 1 in 
the global menu with 10% effect to FXA will all have the same amount
of effect on them.
You can also select the effects to be controlled via any of the other 
presets as well as globally.
Its odd to me that you have to set effects up this way, there dosent 
seem to be a direct uneffected level to the master outputs. You have 
to do it with the 4 sends..
Hope that helps, im sure someone here with more experiance with the 
unit can explain it better. Ive not had my XL-7 for very long and do 
need to sit down and read the manual cover to cover to get the full 
picture..

There dosent seem to be a solo track function :o(

Thanks for the reply. I will give it a try soon. Thanks again.
