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

I tested it out last night, and it worked. But I also found out that 
the problem wasn't with the XL-7. The "EXTERNAL SONG START/STOP" 
function was already set to "accepted". I had to change one of the 
settings on the AW16G to send MIDI start/stop messages. This 
function has always been set to "on" whenever I've started the AW16G 
in the past, so I took it for granted that it was the same this time 
(and that the problem lied with the XL-7). Thanks for your help 
Mibrilane.
