The XL-7 factory presets all use virtual controller A to control Fc. You 
can assign that to a MIDI controller number in the Global menu (this is 
for both Transmit and Receive). The E5000 presets similarly typically 
use a virtual controller to control Fc, typically A also. Likewise you 
can set the MIDI controller number assigned to A in the E5000's 
Master->Midi menu. Just set them to the same MIDI controller number.

Simple, right?

I am trying to use an E5000 to layer sounds up in conjunction with 
the XL-7 and am getting no where no matter who i ask.  

This is a basic example of what i am wanting to do.

Lets say i have a preset in the XL on chanel 1. And a preset in the 
E5000 on chanel 1.  All i am trying to do is use the quick edits on 
the XL to control the filter cutoff in both the presets.  

Simple right?

Well not so simple as far as i can tell.  For some unknown reason the 
E5000 only alows me to select up to controller #31 (like this is not 
odd enuf).  The CC's in the XL for all the quick edit knobs are hard 
fixed and can not be changed to accomadate the sampler.  

Now this is honestly making my head spin at this point i have called 
tech support at E-MU and talked to the people that sold it to me and 
the best answer i get involves me running my midi out through the 
sampler and off the through on the sampler back into the XL.  this is 
just stupid.  And on top of it i am using the Through for other 
things.

I just want this fo work, am i asking too much here?  this should be 
a simple thing should it not?

If anyone has any ideas for this question i want to hear from you !!!


Peace

Actually, on XL-7 these assignments are in the Controllers Menu. (They're in
the Master menu in all the 1U modules).

Dude you are so right!!!!!!!!!

Thank you soooooooooo much for straightening me out on that one.  
I am so relived that I can't even tell you.  I just assumed that if i 
changed the controller # in the REALTIME CONTROLLER# window that it 
would actualy change the internal settings as well.  That is a big 
one off my head and I am totaly glad that there is a simple soulution 
to that issue.  Now I can set up the A-H controllers on the E5000 
once and for all and just not worry about it again.

Thanks again.

Mike

It does change internal settings as well.  MidiA will always do what MidiA
says in the patchcords section (usually Fc) no matter what controller number
you set it to, however, note that it will record this new controller number
into sequences.  Other than that though, you should have no problem
whatsoever.
