I post my music on myspace once in a while. I make some strange stuff. I used my e-mu on most of them.

No, both of them controls everything.
command station 1: XL7:
I sent MIDI notes and tweaks to a Waldorf Micro Q module.
I sent MIDI notes to a roland V synth.
Send MIDI sync tempo, THRU the Waldorf to a Electribe ESX1
Send MIDI sync tempo, THRU the V Synth to a Yamaha EX5.
Command station 2 MP7
Send MIDI notes to a Roland SP 808ex sampler (these notes are not scales but sample triggers)
Send MIDI notes to a Yamaha SY 99
Send MIDI sync tempo to a Dave Smith's Evolver using THRU of the SP808
Send MIDI sync tyempo to an Akai Ax 60 analog synth.
What is hard to me, is to sync both command stations. I use patches from them, from any kind, basses, hi hats, a few pads, lots of percs comes from the command stations.
Since I have a wide variety of instruments, I need big organizers inside them. Most uncomfortable issue for me on this situations, is the patch saving options of the command stations: with 6 roms, I am plenty of options for creating user patches, and I'm a strong orrientation to sound design and programmation. But the only way to store patches, is using another synth with a sequencer that can record SYSEX. So, I have the patterns here, and the patches, there....
Such a mess of patterns and patches, after 5-6 years using two command stations....

My PX-7 gets used in so many different ways.  I used it in a Tom Petty tribute band for miscellaneous synth sounds (w/ the Vintage Collection ROM), sequencing stuff that I don't have enough hands to play live, and as a backup for my clonewheel (using the Ultimate B-3 ROM).  In the studio, it sees tons of action as a sound module, and as my go-to drum machine.  I find the sequencer very fast and easy for putting together drum parts.  Then I use it as a central part of my looping rig, providing MIDI-based loops synchronized with audio loops from an EH 2880.  The sequencer, arpeggiator, Super Beats mode, and all the real-time controls are *killer* in a looping set-up.

Considering they're 8 year old technology, I'm amazed at how well the Command Stations hold up from about every angle, except maybe the size of that LCD screen.
