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

I am pulling my hair out here. (hard to do with a crewcut too)
I am trying to save a factory ARP to a new Pattern, with note data on 
Track 9. I am recording it in real time using the XL7 key pads. As 
soon as I finish the realtime Pattern recording I save it. But when I 
go back to play it nothing plays. Any insite? Do I have to save the 
ARP to a new User Preset. Also when doing this do I select the 
ARP "M" or "P" or "ON" setting when I save it?

Sorry if this was already answered before. 

Thank
Billy
