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

I have a weird thing going on and I am not shur if it is just me 
sompthing the XL is dooing.  I am sequencing my E5000 with the XL.  
When I use a arp on a chanel being sent to the E5000 the arp plays 
fine when I am playig in the pattern but after I have recorded the 
patten the arp no longer plays and the notes that I have played 
become sticato (very short)not legato (long) like I originaly played 
them.

I have the preset in channel that I am using set to the defalt one so 
there is no sound to get in the way of the sound coming off the 
sampler.  And I am using the master Arp not the preset arp.  

Anone have any ideas as to what I am missing here?

Peace mike
