is it possible to have multiple patterns applied to the same preset or 
does the preset have to be copied to a different location ?

Yes it is possible. If you want exactly the same sound for all the pattern.

Pointers (was Re: presets)

2005-10-15 by steve_the_composer

One thing that might help people get a handle on their E-Mu is the 
concept of POINTERS. It is a concept in computing, and remember--
electronic music gear are really just specialized computers 

One of the main functions of computers is to point.

You the user have control over some pointers the E-Mu uses. You do not 
have control over other pointers. For example, consider the sound 
ROMs. They have digitized sound >>samples<<, but you do not have 
access to these directly. However, samples and multisamples are 
organized by the e-mu architecture to have pointers to >>ROM 
instruments<< in the EDIT PRESET functionality.

When edit a preset and change a preset's instruments on layers 1->4, 
you are setting pointers to the ROMs table of contents (so to speak) 
which points to the digitized sound samples. 

Then, when you save the preset, let's call it My Sax 1.0, to User 
memory slot 025 in bank 3, you are setting a pointer to the cluster of 
parameters called a preset.

NOW:

When you create a sequence (pattern or song) you set pointers (in 
effect) to a table of contents which point to the preset parameters. 
If on Track 2 I want to use My Sax 1.0 on channel 5, I set a pointer 
that says to the sequencer: "Hey, on track 2, any notes played on 
channel 5 get played with the sound I am calling My Sax 1.0." 

SO:

If you want, you can have 5 different channels on track 1, 3 different 
channels on track 7, and 16 different channels on track 9 all pointing 
to My Sax 1.0.

=====================================

I hope the explanation of pointers helps. Once you figure out which 
ones you have control over and where they can point to, I think you 
will have a great deal of mastery over your gear.

Can they be at the same time though - if so - how many ?

Until you run out of polyphony, based on the polyphony usage rules for the command station (in the manual).  For example, a chorused voice uses twice the polyphony of a non-chorused voice, etc, etc., up to the polyphony count of 128 for the XX-7......

Some of our old posts delve specifically into effective polyphony.....

Technically every sequencer track can have the same preset on it.  
However, one would have to start asking oneself:  why the heck do I  
have the same preset on every sequencer track? ;D

presets

2005-10-16 by lifeistheformofenergy

thanks - funny answer - I suppose I really should have specified : 
how many before problems are encountered or that the XX 7 gets slowed 
down (if so) ... we wouldn't want over loads now would we ... we need 
to make it back to the mother load ship - you just encountered an 
alien - welcome back to space - the truth is out there - doo doo doo 
doo duh do doo dooo ... thanks for tuning in to my brief version of X 
files ... tune in for some more techno -
