Hi there, I'm a beginner exploring some preset editing and making changes to voices on the Emu Command Station MP7.
By the way, this is recorded straight into the ipad via a Roland Go:Mixer Pro, from the main outputs. 
No effects are used. 
Even the Command Station FX are disabled - if I enable the FX on my MP7, a loud burst of white noise explodes from the outputs....

00:00 intro
00:50 basic saw 1 and talk about layers
01:10 enabling "edit all layers" 
02:40 scrolling through categories
03:30 "this exploration might take a while..."
04:20 no filters, and talk through the setup I have used to record the video
05:20 transpose layers
06:50 editing all 4 layers at once
07:20 found the reason for the 'phasing' of the voices
08:00 altering the layers individual fine tuning
09:15 layer amplification differences
09:50 flashing parameters
10:20 alter pitchbend on the touchstrip and change for each layer
12:10 different filters for the different layers
13:20 exploring some filter types and settings
14:00 quick look at patchcords for the filters
15:25 more filter changes on layers
16:20 low frequency effect on filter
16:50 alter tunings
17:35 "...this individual layer thing - is quite a thing..." 
18:30 time or tempo based filter envelope
19:15 play an audition riff
20:20 investigate MIDI B controller settings
21:45 patchcord number 2
22:15 apology for boring video... checking multiple values to investigate 
24:05 odd noises...
25:25 change pitchbend range
26:00 altering controllers
28:20 "... not sure if this of any value to you... but I am continuing..."
29:10 up the tempo to 60bpm!
30:10 increase the release
31:10 mixing time and tempo based filter envelopes ... couple of minutes of sonic manipulation
33:30 ok, back to it then...
34:15 editing some more patchcord +/- values
34:50 reducing values to give finer/more specific control
36:20 bell type resonance found...
38:00 altering the LFO rate in the patchcords setting for each layer
38:40 beautiful harmonics fluttering in and out... angels playing glockenspiels !
40:20 time to save the preset !
40:40 rename the preset
41:40 add some glide
42:05 head wobble for a moment
42:20 and now... the ARPEGGIATOR...
43:15 extend the gate setting
43:35 alter mod wheel
43:45 arp extension count value
44:45 arp extension interval value
45:25 arp extension count value change and some more fiddling
47:55 ... so ... mess with tempo and quantise
49:20 arp latch function
49:40 arp key range
50:25 MIDI notes off via HOME/ENTER +MIDI key combination
50:50 arp velocity - set a 'played' velocity - or 'set' the velocity value, which an affect any programmable value via the patchcords
52:30 arp settings - pattern, random etc exploring for a bit
54:45 arp pattern speed
56:40 an encouragement to share your explorations...
57:00 an awful ending... 
I am sure you can do MUCH better ! 
So SHARE your stuff!!!

Best regards!
😊
