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

On my Waveterminal card I can select the digital clock source, and 
i've set it to receive from the MP7. The signal is still crackly 
however. I think this is a signal strength related issue rather than 
a format/compatability issue given that i can solve the crackles 
problem simply by using my finger on the metal rim to boost the 
strength...
