Massimo,

Thanks for responding!  That does make some sense, but need a little further help:

I've connected MIDI cables as you suggested and can play the EPS to get notes out of the Micro-Q.  However, when I press any of the standard beats from the XL-7 they play thru the Micro-Q using the Micro-Qs sound set.

What I would like to do is: 1) play the Micro-Q through the EPS as a proper synth (already doing that now); 2) Play XL-7 patterns using the XL-7 sound set, and 3) use the XL-7 to sequence patterns & souns from the XL-7 and the Micro-Q.  Can that be done within my current setup?

Much thanks,
--Scott

If you also want to control the EPS with XL-7 you could simply connect the other OUT to the IN on the EPS. Or alternatively the THRU from the Micro-Q to the IN on the EPS.

That way it can act as a controller and also be controlled from the XL-7. If you select a channel on the XL-7 that the EPS is set to recognise, it will play.
