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

is it possible to make it so that every track mute stays un muted 
while switching between patterns - the reason for this would be to 
review all of the pattern's track sequences instead of only 
preset "unmuted" tracks - it seems this would have to be a global 
user multisetup configuration that would need to be loaded up 
everytime the machine is booted ?

Yep.  Hold down TAP while either turning the knob (while stopped) or
pressing enter to select a pattern (while playing).  It's called "mute
hold".  You'll need OS 2.0.  All the current mute settings will remain
when the new pattern switches in (with the exception of empty tracks).

PS.  This was one of the many "asked for on the XL-7 list" features
that got in 2.0!

Neat feature!! Thanks for the question; thanks for the answer.

Another option would be to set up a song [step mode record] to chain 
all the patterns and have all tracks unmuted. If you do go this 
route, you might want to use song events only or 1st pattern only in 
the EVENT SOURCE menu.

Aaron's suggestion is much better for an on-the-fly solution. The 
above solution requires the initial set-up and changes any time you 
add new patterns.
