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

realm,
  
   i have additional drum boxes and sequencers, and i am trying to simplifly things in a 
live set up.  i usualy dont program songs into my drum boxes, i just switch patterns and 
patches on the fly.  unfortunatly sometime there is a huaman timing issue.   i would like to 
be able to mix songs back and forth from my hopefuly new xl7 and my 909.  i also have a 
505, and er1.  sometimes when i come to a part in a song where i only add an extra 
measure to kinda drop it off, and then slam it back in i have to create an extra pattern that 
is 1 measure long and switch all my equipment to play one measure then back to the 
main pattern.  i would like to be able to just stop all my equipment while that extra 
measure plays out on say the xl7, and start them all from the begining of the pattern.  it 
would be kidna like treating each instrument as a record and just cueing it up, and then 
be able to trigger it,  at the same time as i trigger another instrument.  this makes sense to 
me.  i hope you get it.  if i just have to practice harder, thats what i will do, but there just 
has to be a way to control multple pieces of hardware(i hope)   peace

Yeah, I understand what you're after.  In this case (with so much gear to 
control) it may be better to go down the DJ mixer route, or even something 
like one of the smaller Mackie's. That would let you solo the one 
instrument with a push of a button, and then bring everything else back in 
as you describe.  The XX-7's are pretty comprehensive when it comes to 
external control, but not that comprehensive :)
