Since you sold the DSI MoPho, there's probably no way to narrow the source of the problem down further. Maybe someone else will come along with trying to slave a MoPho to a Command Station. In any case, I enjoyed browsing through the manual.

The XL7 spits out a lot of MIDI data when you press stop twice (as I'm sure you're aware from looking at MIDIOx...)  It may just be "confusing" the Mopho.
