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

Thank you Steve and Matt.  The track 16 fx solution is just the sort of
creative problem solving I hoped for.  Looking at it more and at the second
PatchCords menu, which I didn't understand at first, I have to imagine EMU
knew they had a design problem that needed fixing.  Makes so much sense now.
And hard-setting MIDI channels to outs (as mentioned in Steve's link) saves
time and keeps it consistent.  I don't suppose I can connect a knob to
'feedback'.  Nikita, Steve's email has a long-form walk-through but if you
hit a snag, PM me.

 

The first question folks ask me when I talk about my EMU is 'can you burn
your own samples?'  Gotcha on the price of blank ROMs.  Go figure.  The
synth engine is so good that I'll get by for sure once I master these
envelopes.  More of a 'neat to have', I suppose.  And the basses sound
great.  I'm really looking forward to practicing on a big system to see how
they hold up.

 

Is anyone able to connect Proteum/Prodatum on Windows 7 from USB?  E-Loader
I got, but I don't know what to use it for beyond backups.

 

Thanks,

Scott

The discussions here (and in those threads) might be useful to you. The
second one points to two additional posts.

I am not at my gear now, but I believe the FXA/FXB sends can be found in the
preset patchcords (i.e., global, non-layer level patchcords).

Hope this helps.

Steve

PS: Once you master this, there might be advanced things you can do with
embedded sysex.

Also (and I know I wrote about this), sometimes people limit themselves to
thinking of FX as the FXA/FXB chips; however, you can achieve a lot of FX
with the P2K synth engine itself.

I used !FX as my FX presets, so perhaps search for that in the archives.
