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

Hi,

yes, both answers help a lot :)

And yes, i want to pass the sysex commands through the XL7 to the Alpha Juno but also use the sequencer of the XL7.

I will go for a midi merger. 

I will tell how it works after i got it...

Thanks...

You could send the Edirol PCR 500 midi data to both the XL-7 and the Juno (usually done with a midi router of some type), or you could merge the data from the XL-7 and the Edirol (again, with some sort of midi routing device).

If your control track is set to external (or both), I do believe the sysex will be transmited to the Juno. (Search the archives for "embedded sysex" and check the Files section.)

I have used SONAR for that purpose in combination with an old 8x8 MOTU midi router (the one that hooks up to the PC parallel port). The MOTU software lets me design routing and filtering presets.
