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

hi 
im trying to save channel assignments in the pattern assignment menu.
ive saved the mutisetup the patter and the preset but if i turn the mp-
7 on or off the channel assigments go back to the default settings.

"Oh, you've got to have Daaaaaaa taaa." (sung to the tune of "Friends" 
written by Buzzy Linhart--"You've got to have friends" as performed by 
Bette Midler)

Meaning: before or after you change the channel assignments, but 
before your save the pattern, put some benign data on the track.  For 
example: any cc data [set volume at 127, for example].

If there is no data on the track, the save routines will reset the 
track to default settings.

[I will try to find the discussion of this in the archives.]

Hope this helps.

I couldn't readily find the discussion, but I did find a discussion 
on "Setup for Sequencing Hell" (circa January 2005) that may be of 
interest to some.

As for retaining channel assignments, you may want to do what I did:

I have patterns that serve as templates. (One is at location 000^0 so 
its there at power up.) One pattern has my external track assignments 
and some cc/volume data on each track. I think I named it MultiA --> 
ext.

Hope this helps.
