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

i've had the same problem with my XL-7 and Digital Performer on a Mac G4. i tried a 
million different tests and changes, with no luck.  the problem finally seemed to go away 
when i connected the XL-7 to my MIDI interface with an expensive Mogami MIDI cable.

but alas for me, the problem returned.

now i think i've got it beat: once i got a new M-Audio MIDI interface, the problem 
vanished. completely. and it's been stable for weeks now. it seems that my XL-7 didn't like 
the sync sent through my MOTU Micro Lite interface.

if you can, try a different interface from a different manufacterer. and high-end cables 
don't hurt either!

good luck!
