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

If you do get around to implementing it, perhaps you could compress and pre-send
messages with a timestamp in order to keep the timing rock solid.  I believe
that's what eMagic does for theirs, especially if used with Logic.
That sound right?  Also maybe set it up so you could respond tracks A USB tracks
B midi, complete with echo.

Not currently. We realize this is a desirable feature, but technically
this is very difficult to achieve. We are prioritizing USB development
efforts with the philosophy of doing things that benefit most from the
speed advantage of USB first, hence bulk sysex transfers are first
priority. There is little advantage to sending real-time MIDI over USB
versus a traditional MIDI cable (Classic MIDI?), other than reducing
cable clutter. In fact, many would argue that MIDI over USB is a
disadvantage, because USB is inherently sloppier timing wise than
traditional MIDI. But we do realize why people want it, and it is on our
feature list.
