hello all . ..how does one go about selecting patterns on the emu with say cakewalk. The inst def files enables one to select the different banks of sounds but not the pattern itself ?? or am i mistaken here ?? thanks ..

I don´t know cakewalk but it is posible with *program changes*. I only use Cubase to tweek my individual patterns so I can´t give you too many tips on this.I do all sequencing in my xx7. I´m sure someone else can elaberate on this but >program change< is where its at! :paul --- In xl7@yahoogroups.com, "honkeyhindu" <honkeyhindu@c...> wrote:

i dont think its possibly ..well at least eaisly. midi chart says ther is no midi info for song select ..that reallys sucks if its so ..well not really ..i guess most people use the xl as a main sequencer ??

Thats mad. Yep - program change is track specific and changes instruments.Bit of a "faux pas" all round. However: As I said, I do all my master sequencing from my xx7 (after all stringing patterns together is not too difficult).The obvious work around is to program the pattern strings you want into a song in your xx7 and have your it set to accept external song start stop. Then, where your program change would be in cakewalk is simply in the xx7 at the same song location! I did some research in the archives and found very little on this "flaw". Its not even high on the list for the much documented OS update. Please correct me if I wrong, because yahoo seemed to have changed the way it does *search archive* which makes it a bit of a drag to dig deep in the archives. :paul

Having done remote control sysex programming, I do believe this is possible. I believe I posted some tips on how to do remote control sysex programming. (1) open remote control session (2) mimic front panel control (although not all buttons are available from what I've seen). TIP: You may be in any of several operating modes, so initialize your virtual front panel to a known state. TIP: When simulating the master knob, initialize the knob to a known state--either all the way left (counter-clockwise) or all the way right (clockwise). (3) close remote control session Hope this helps. Dr. Steve move knob

Having pattern selection accessible via bank selection/program change combo would be extremely handy. I have a Roland Intelligent arranger where the different styles are selectable via bank selection/program change. It is so easy to use via a software sequencer--just point, click, scroll, etc. No sysex programming needed. Not having this capability to select E-Mu patterns is to me a major flaw. Add that to the OS wish list.

(Here's the link.) http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xl7/message/11652 This was a reply to one of Matt's questions trying to do the same thing (switching presets). I am not sure if Matt tried this approach. Hope this helps. Dr. Steve.
