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

Just checked the manual again - it;s explained on page 126 - COntroller assignments:

'The front panel Controller Knobs and sixteen MIDI controller numbers share the A-P controller routings. These screens let you select which MIDI real-time controllers numbers will be RECEIVED (from 1 to 31 and from 64 to 95) and which controller numbers will be transmitted over MIDI if the front panel controls are turned.'

So, as I can see, the only way to control e.g. LFO rate from external cc is to assign one knob to the desired cc in the controllers menu, then map that knob to LFO rate in the cords, leaving the cord value at 0.
