It occurred to me you might be talking about sending midi back and forth between a sequencer/ DAW running on Windows 7 and the MP-7. There are several inexpensive USB based midi devices that will do this. I believe Cakewalk/ Sonar makes a well regarded one. I like the E-Mu ones, but I don't know if they are still being sold retail.
Basically, as long as the midi device has good drivers, you'll have no problems. Just Google 'USB Midi interfaces' and you should find lots of
data.
I've both used my Command station as a sound module and recorded the midi grooves to my computer sequencer for 'tweakin.' Pretty straight-forward.

�Welcome back, and congrats on your MP-7. Looks like a nice set of ROMs (and other gear to go with the E-Mu)!
I'd certainly recommend OS2. What OS is in there?
I am not sure about your other questions/concerns. I have a P2500, but have never hooked it up to Win7. I doubt the E-Mu usb drivers would work, but since OS update works via midi, not usb, I am thinking it should work on win7.
I haven't done multitrack dubbing from one sequencer to the E-Mu sequencer,so maybe others can answer that question.
Again, welcome.
