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

dumb question here, but can riffs be recorded into a user pattern, 
or are they only for previewing/audtioning?  I read somewhere that 
it is playback only, but what if I wanted to use a riff?

thanks,

Not a dumb question. I asked the same question and here are the replies
I got. 

you could connect a midi cable from the MP-7's MIDI out A, to the 
MP-7's MIDI in.  The just hit record on the MP-7's sequencer and play
your 
Preset with the riff you want.  If the timings a bit off, you could use 
quantize to clean it up.


connect to the MIDI Out A to the MIDI In of the MP-7; Select your preset
riff that you will be using, I forgot what menu you go to, but you want
to go to the screen that says transmit MIDI riff; set up your tempo or
use the tempo already designated for that specific riff; Press record
and you should have your riff being recorded for how long you want,
i.e., 4 bars, 8 bars or 16 bars whichever is your preference. That
specific riff you recorded should be on the Track/Channel you designated
and you could build from there. I hope that helps.

you can record the riffs buy conectiong a midi cable from the midi 
out to the midi in and recording it to the sequencer.  As for the 
details i am not shur but I know it can be done this way.

Man, wouldn't it be cool if the new OS would support copying 
riffs... just a thought...

not to sound snooty but none of the riffs are so complex that you 
couldnt just copy them by learning to play them. They are like 4 
measures anyway. Then at least you could even add your own variations.

I have my midi out connected to the midi in on my computer, and when I hit
the audition button on the MP-7, I get no midi transmission.  However when I
hit one of the pads, I see activity on the computer.  Can you help me?

Yep.  Go to the second page in the Arp menu, entitled "Arp/Riff Midi
Out" and turn it to "transmit riff" (or both).

Thank you,  that worked.  so I am trying to use Logic, how should I have it
connected to the pc, midi in on the pc from midi out on the MP-7 and midi in
on the MP-7 from midi out on the pc?  Is this right. if so I am having weird
control error, or when I try and audition what was recorded, it does not
play right.

 

What else am I doing screwed up.

 

Thanks,
