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

i've got 3x stereo outputs on the XL7, and onboard effects that are 
nothing to brag about. so i'd like to make the most of the 6 outputs and 
use external effects. i'd like to be able to use this as something like 4 
mono outputs + 1 stereo pair... or even 6 mono outputs.

checking with headphones, it seems that a hard pan in the preset still 
leaves quite a bit of signal on the side i'm trying to mute. is that only 
an issue with headphones? is there a way around that? or am i stuck with 3 
stereo outputs because i can't *really* do a hard pan all the way to 
either side?

If you are panning at the preset/voice level, did you pan all the layers of the voice you want to isolate?  Did you check to make sure there is no post combining of the signal or effect after the pan?  Are any of the modulation patch cords moving the pan back over (like midi note)?

I'm sure there are more things I am missing here.....

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

i'm starting from a default patch that i created with no effects, 
patch-cords all set to "off", and only one layer.

i also tried setting the channel pan (in addition to the preset pan) to 
one side... it didn't help, but if i set them to opposite sides they 
cancel each other out and i get center-pan.

i'm still in the shallow end of this pool... i just set the FX to global, 
set all of the sends to 0%, and now it's working as desired.

thanks for giving me a short list of things to double check. now i need to 
figure out how to have one channel set the FX for a pattern... i think 
that's how it's supposed to work...
