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

a few things to consider:

1.  the midi cc and pc message numbers in the repeater manual are not 
all correct...you should look in the files section of the yahoogroup 
repeater group (or check the archives) for accurate numbers.

2.  the repeater is not a sampler, and does not behave like one.  i 
mostly use my repeater from the front pannel, so i can't give 
specific steps, but you might consider cueing up the loop you want 
from the repeater ahead of time, and let the emu do the equivilent of 
pressing the play button on beat one of a new sequence.

3.  i find in my own production, that using several sequencers synced 
is more fun (and more musical) than just using one master sequencer 
to controll everything (and yes, i know that you could accomplish 
most things with a single sequencer, but i find it beneficial to be 
able to change one sequence, and keep some elements from changing at 
the same time...without complete planning beforehand).  that said, 
you might consider just using the repeater manually while it syncs to 
midi.

4.  unless you are doing live looping (recording or overdubbing in 
realtime while you perform or record), you would probably benefit 
from a more traditional sampler..as the repeaters strongest point is 
it's live recording of loops.

So It seems like this should be one of the main things that this machine can
do but I don't see anywhere in the manual that tells how to do it.

I want the MP7 to select and start loops on my repeater but I have no clue
how to go about this.

It seems like you should be able to program the program change or control
changes into the  song on the MP7 so that the appropriate samples will be
selected and triggered automatically. I no that the repeater can be
controlled via midi I just don't know how to program the MP7 to tell it what
to do. It seems that I just need the MSB/LSB command to go out a bit before
I need the sample to start so that it can load and then send the start/play
command. Is it possible to automate this? HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
