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

From the sound of you previous post, you seem to still be struggling 
with what you are calling "triggers." To me it sounds like you are 
talking here about track mutes, not triggers. Each button on your MP-7 
can do different things, depending on what mode you are in.

I.  The set of 16 buttons (2 rows of 8 buttons)can function as 
triggers. 
II. They can also funtion as track mutes. 
III. (There are other functions as well, but let's not get into those 
right now.) To toggle between these two modes, press the button just 
above button 1.

I. I believe another poster explained for you the 3 trigger modes 
(TRIGGER BUTTONS FUNCTION menu):
1. Play Note Events 
[I have used these to trigger arps--latch on/latch off.]
2. Play Beats Parts
[Select a bts. preset and give it a whirl.]
3. Select Patterns
[I don't use this, but I imagine others might.]

II. Using the buttons to mute/unmute tracks.

[Sorry; I don't have the time to explain this part of it, but I do 
believe this is what you are wanting to know how to do. Perhaps others 
can explain it from this point. Basically, track mutes and unmutes are 
recordable and editable.]

Hope this gets you going in the right direction.
