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

Hello. I made an identical pattern, but did not do the touch-strip bass 
slide. The pattern loops fine now. The slide must have somehow created 
the whole problem, because it was at the start of the pattern.
I have put in two sound boards from my XL-1; the XL-1, and the ORCH-1. 
Now this thing has a boat-load of serious samples.
I have a question about the DATA THIN setting: Does "1" wipe out the 
least info, or the most info? The manual uses "3" as a reference, 
showing that it will keep every 3rd piece of data.If I set it 
for "128", will it save only the last piece of data? Is there a 
recommended number to set it at, that keeps things sounding the same, 
but saves the most room in the pattern? Should I try to wipe out only 
the user preset banks to save memory?What is the easiest way to do just 
that, without using a computer?
I love this box, but have been spoiled by the rock solid O.S. of the 
Roland MC-909, when it comes to sequencing, and saving onboard 
stuff.The E-Mu sounds are the richest of the sample play-back gear, 
that I have ever used. The O.S. just seems really touchy, but I just 
have to get to know all of it's quirks. I do deeply dig them though.ESW

glad you fixed it. maybe the touchstrip was controlling more than 
what you were using it for. Emu has the richest sounds? what are you 
using it with(FX)?

Guys¨
   
   
  How do you get the best of your command station.  
I wonder wich applications are giving to this great synth.  
  I use only hardware, and two command stations are the brains of a MIDI setup.  They control other four sintetizers, but I do not use them only as sequencers, but also as tone generators.
  But mainly, I use the following sounds from them:
  percussions:  I use lots of congas, bongoes, timbals and other percussions from them.  
  Snares:  I have beat garden rom, it comes with great snares so I use them a lot
  arpegios: mainly, my arpeggios have a length of 32, are user, and sometimes have the link function, so they work most of the times with 12 waves. I program during hours knobs in order to create randomized effects over each one of the waves, so the arppegio is rich on variations and never repeats in the same way.
  Also, I work with arpeggios that does not loop and only appear at the end of a patter as a break or a bridge.  Generally, this arppegios have non tuned sounds as percusssions.
  some subbasses: despite I have other synths that are great on basses, I love some subs from the mp7 and the beat garden rom. 
   
  I hardly use kicks from the commande station, I also avoid most of the pads except for the beatiful and wide LIFEDREAM.   
   
  The synths that I control with my command station are:
   
  XL7 controlling a Roland V synth and a Access Virus T1
  MP7 controlling a Korg Electribe EMX and a Waldorf Q
   
  I love the hability of the command station to transmit MIDI messages with a low latency.  This synth, despite being a rompler between great VAs, can produce very PHAT sounds that can reach some of the big synths.  
   
  So, I don´t know why I´m `posting this, maybe I´m not getting the best of them, one of my big problems with the command station, is transponsing sounds (it´s so uncomfortable) and creating bridges...

I mainly use it for controlling software since I'm not much of a fan 
of my mo-phat ROM. i also don't have a proper "pro-audio" soundcard 
atm so i don't use any external FX with it since i don't own any 
hardware FX. so until i do, it'll just be my favorite MIDI controller.
