I think I'm finally understanding from this post and your other post about
it going "blip" for each note what your problem might be, or at least
something close to it. You are inputting notes on a 16th note grid but
expecting the note events to last longer than a 16th note, but the grid is
sending note off events at the end of each step (100% of a 16th note still
being a 16th note) and then sounds that should sustain are just doing
attack/release because the note is too short. Am I close?

For longer notes you can tie together adjacent note events. The longest note
you're going to get without tying notes together is a 16th note (the
resolution of the grid you're working on). But, two 16ths is an 8th, and so
on, so tying notes may allow for full envelope-age to occur.

I hope you don't think me and the other group members are being rude to you
or anything, we're just trying to figure your problem because in your
initial description you were describing something that doesn't really happen
and it was deeply confusing.

Either way your MP7 isn't "broken" - if the OS was messed up you'd have more
problems than this. I'm thinking you're just overly used to how other synths
do grid recording and E-mu's way is different enough to throw you off. Once
you get used to it, the E-mu sequencer is really wonderfully simple.
