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

Here's the scoop. For your setup, you'll need the feature "Local on/off
select". Currently this is not implemented in the XL-7. The Good news
is, it will be including in our next major release scheduled for mid
November. Once you have  this feature, you'll need to set it to Local
off. This will shut of the keypads to the internal engine and only allow
the pads data to go out of the MIDI outs. The notes will then pass
through your sequencer and back into the XL-7 playing everything
correctly. Right now you have pad data going the internal synth and the
same exact data passing through your sequencer back to your Xl-7. It
should sound like a flange when you play standard presets, but when
playing presets with arps, cancellation will occur. 

Work around for now. When you are using the Xl-7 with a software
sequncer, use another controller (keyboard) to play/record the the Xl-7
presets. Or, when recording unplug the MIDI in cable and reconnect when
you playback.
