so last night i took both of the units apart. what i found was interesting. so there are four slots, if i remember right. both units had slot 0 open ! now, i would've thought that to be a problem causing error. but since i erroneously erased the patterns in the px7 (came with them) and was able to reload them via eloader, it makes me think you want to put the 1st rom in slot 3.
lemme explain: three slots, numbered 0 to 3, both machines had slot 3 (fourth slot) open.

also, i have extra roms in the px7, an mrom (same exact presets as in the mp7) and an xrom

so when i scroll through the presets with both machines on, they both go through their own standard presets with the rom name on the right of the screen as "user". then they both repeat their resident patterns, with the mp7 saying "mp7" and the px7 saying "drums". go aaaaallll the way to 127 with the small 3, the mp7 is at the end of its presets, the px7 of course keeps on going through the other two roms.

so that all makes sense and is good, i did not screw around with moving rom cards, since the px7 works perfectly well with slot 0 open, so why go there.

i actually made a doc of all the comments and suggestions you all have been gracious to add, just go to tired plus not sure if everyone wants a post the size of a small car.

just still baffled why the px7 is good and the other one which seems fine had this weird thing going on.
but you know what, i may get back to making music, since the the mp7 was a spare machine anyway.
this all started with the emu syncing well with my (guitar stuff) pigtronix infinity looper pedal, and getting those two to work together is another afternoon of shenanigans.

i really appreciate everyones feedback, this forum is awesome and i will go back to visiting it more often

thanks
