I have created 2 small *.mid files which you can store in your E-Mu 
sequencer using e-loader. RemoteControlON.mid opens a remote control 
session. RemoteControlOFF.mid closes it. 

If you want to know more, see the text file in the Files section.

Is there a way to enter controller changes in step record without 
entering notes? I have tried changing a controller ( via one of the 
knobs) while using play to enter a rest note, but the controller change 
isn't recorded. Seems you have to actually enter a note. The only way 
around this as I can see is to enter notes at a keyboard location that 
isn't mapped for the active preset ( i.e it will not make any sound, 
just for your sanity if you are entering 128 precision controller 
changes for a bar!). You could use this non-sounding note to make 
controller changes and then use the pattern:erase events: note function 
to remove the note after step record has finished.

Maybe I am missing something?

I don't generally do step recording, but I just tested it to record 
CCs [via knobs] and it works just fine. In step mode, when you twist 
knob(s) and then press play, that CC(s) get recorded at the time 
displayed before you press play. 

To verify that CCs were recorded, look for them in the EVENT editor. 
No need to exit step record mode to use the EVENT editor. 

BTW, to test, put your 1st CCs at 001.01.001 [not 001.01.000].


Here's the steps I used:

1. In pattern view mode select an Empty Sequence.
2. Press Record 3x for step record mode.
3a. Set desired Res[olution] and Gate, if inserting notes.
3b. Set desired time for CC [knob settings] insertion.
4. Tweak knobs [ccs].
5. Press Play to advance the sequencer.
etc.

Is this what you are trying to do?

Correction to my previous reply: no need to press play: In step record 
mode changing the time after tweaking knobs puts the CCs into the 
pattern.

Thanks, worked as you described.
