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

Just got an XL 7 and really need some basic help that I can't find in
the manual:

1) How do I insert a rest note in step time sequencing?

2) If I put together a sequence and I use a stock bass sound an then
decide that, say, the filter parameter needs to be changed for the
track that the bass sound is in, do I have to edit the original sound
or can it be done and saved as part of the sequence - ie I dont want
to edit the original sound, I just want to change its filter setting
in this sequence. Can I do this??

3) If I want to use a Audition riff, can I attach a MIDI lead from
MIDI out to MIDI in and then record it into a track and then edit it?

Any help would be appreciated!

It depends what you want to change.  If you want to change the 
filter TYPE for any or all of the layers, you do have to edit the 
preset.  If you want to change the conrollable filter parameters 
{cutoff, resonance), you don't have to edit the preset. You can 
simply insert a control change in the sequence using the event 
editor.

The E-Mu sequencer has note and event editing capability, but not 
sysex editing capability.  If you were using an external sequencer, 
you could change filter type using a short sysex command.

I cannot test this, but if you have an external sequencer that can 
handle sysex, including inserting sysex commands into a standard 
midi file, you might be able to edit the pattern and reload it with 
the embedded sysex command using e-loader.

If it were me, I'd just edit the preset changing the filer type.  
Its a whole lot easier than trying to figure if the sysex thing 
would do the trick.

Also, I would rename the preset with a capital B {eg Bas) for the 
suffix so the preset navigator finds it before stock presets.

Hope this helps.

Yes. There is a midi setting that will determine if arps and/or 
riffs are transmitted.  Also, make sure you don't have a midi 
feedback loop, though. [Midi merge to the port you are piping back 
in should be off.]

Hope this helps.

PS: Did you check out the FAQ/Tips and Tricks sheets in the Files 
section?  If not, I recommend it.  rEalm has done a tremendous job 
of editing a whole bunch of stuff from contributors to this forum.

Thanks for the help guys.
I discovered most of this stuff in the tips & faq after I posted the
message - I didn't even realise I would be sent tips & faq!!
Lots of info in the tips, faq & manual but it's really hard to absorb
all this in straight away.
I have spent all weekend reading the manual etc and am just wondering
how long it's going to take me to get familiar with this instrument!

Thanks again.
Ravi

Years, it's a very complex beast :)
