I can see mixing being achieved using a 16 channel volume template for the 
knobs on the emu, or by using a kenton control freak or something. 

>>>The knobs are already assigned to volume on the XL-7 (you get 4 options 
premapped: quickedit, program, volume, and pan), so you don't need make 
your own twmplates. <<

- Is it even possible to on the fly move one track from a non-playing 
pattern into and replacing it's corresonding track in a currently playing 
pattern? 

>>>Nope, no way at all to do it now.  Here's a workaround I proposed 
earlier:

A way to switch out a track in one Pattern, for a track in another 
Pattern, all without stopping playback.  Say during playback you want to 
switch to a new Pattern, but don't want to do it so suddenly as to be 
completely noticeable that it's a completely new Pattern (the way it 
currently is).  Instead, you could Press EDIT + TRACK SELECT/TRIGGER to 
bring up a new screen that would be laid out similar to the Mix Output 
Page in the Global Edit Menu ala; 

Channel 02A: Send2->Main 

The new screen could be laid out like: 

Channel 02A: P:002 Trk: 04 

Meaning that in the Current Pattern, Channel 02A will now be assigned 
Track 4 from Pattern 002, to take effect the next time the pattern loops 
around.  Completely switching to a new Pattern would reset all alternate 
assignments to those saved originally with the pattern.  I wouldn't even 
care about the different EFX types being wrong, it would be a worthwhile 
compromise.  In case you haven't guessed, this is my attempt to give the 
XX-7's a "megamix mode", but it seems like it could work.<<<
