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

I am not familiar with all those, but I don't recognize anything as a midi router listed there which would be essential to have with that much connected gear.

For example, I have an old parallel port MOTU 8x8 midi router. Each I/O port can be filtered and routed using computer software. There is room to store 8 User configurations in addition to 8 factory presets.

It might be that one of these is a router and I just don't know that.

If you had an E-Mu 2x2 midi interface, a dumb midi thru-box, and one of your pieces of gear had midi I/O through the computer, I think you should be able to get most of what you want done.

If you don't have a midi router, it would help to know what gear and software you have with midi I/O so you can use the computer as your midi router.

It might be that the midi I/O of some of your gear shows up to the computer as midi devices through their own usb connections. That would give you some additional options.

You could plug and unplug midi cables to reconfigure your midi routings, but that is so 1980s. It's much better to use hardware or software to do the cable swapping.

I am wondering if you are trying to get a complex set up by daisy chaining gear.

Very simply, if you want to record the Virus on to the MP7, I would just connect the midi out of the Virus to the Mp7. If the Virus has a midi thru and the Novation has a midi out, you could route the Novation to the MP7 via the Virus. (Again, I do not know what I/O the Virus has, so I am speaking in terms of possibilities.)

Hope this helps.
