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

I was about to say that was a cool idea, but I didn't think it would work.  Then I looked, and yes, that's exactly how to do it.  The sequencer checks when the "next" message changes whether the tap button is down.

I listed all the button IDs here:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xl7/message/16527

You'll need:
kEventID_TapTempoButtonDown      = 0x011
kEventID_TapTempoButtonUp        = 0x111

As far as combining, you could try and just do:
F0 18 0F dd 55
 01 02 07 21 xx yy 
 40 20 bb bb 01 
 01 02 04 21 xx yy 
 40 20 bb bb 00 
F7

but I'm pretty sure it won't work.  Who knows, it's worth a shot.  Also, you might have to open a remote control session to send tap tempo.
