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

Hi,

I just bought my MP-7 a few weeks ago.  I too was worried
about the timing after reading Nick's remarks.  

Luckily I have had no problems with tightness.  I have the
MP-7 sync'd to an SP1200.  I have my kick, snare and a few
other things seq on the SP but most of my patterns are made on the
MP-7.  All I can say is that the timing is great.  I'm working
on a track right now with a recycled loop with the midi running in 
the MP-7 triggering samples in an ASR-10, along with some tambourine 
that is triggering the SP (the MP-7 is doing the seqeunce becuase I 
needed a 16th note swing which the SP sequencer wont do)  The drums 
are really tight.  This iw also with some synths and perc from the 
internal MP-7 sounds running at the same time.

The only time I heard midi slop was when I had a sequence
playing with all onboard sounds and some thick layered pads.

But it seems that if you are using outside sources and not
*too* much layered internal sounds you will be fine.

I am very happy with this setup, like you I got the MP-7
to get away from Logic and so far its been great.
