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

if i go into
 	preset edit --> audition riff

i can select "XL7" and get a list of the factory audition riffs. i can 
also select "User", but instead of a list i see "(not installed)".

obvious question: how do i write my own riffs and save them into a user 
riff?

the closest thing i can find is recording a preset riff into a pattern, 
but that's the opposite of what i want to do.

From Tarekith's FAQs here <<http://tarekith.com/assets/CommandStationFAQv203.htm>> (see BTS mode), audition (preset) riffs and BTS sequences can not have their note data edited.  Your can edit parameters in the sequence and save this.  You can also change which riff or BTS is assigned to a preset.  That's about it.  The only thing I can think of is to re-record the riff back into the XL7 as a pattern and work on it from there......

Maybe someone like Aaron or Tarekith, if they are still with us, can verify this......

To the best of my knowledge, riffs are stored on ROMS, not user 
memory. Ergo you cannot create your own riffs--other than creating 
patterns.

There have been a few discussions for people who wanted to tweak 
factory riffs. One way to do this is to pipe the riff out midi and 
record it as a pattern. (For one related discussion, see 
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xl7/message/17669.)

I am not sure why the OS lets you switch to User for Audition Riff. 
Hmmmmm.

The artist now known as Takerith has not been a member here for at 
least a couple of years.

Hope this helps.
