No. I'm playing the MP-7's pads and the arps are sent to a Korg 
MS2000.

Let me try again. English is not my first language, but I sure i can 
get this across. :)


1. With pre delay set to off.
I play and hold a pad. The arpeggio runs perfectly, BUT the note I am 
pressing keeps sounding "unarpeggiated" as well. The arpeggio *and* 
the held note sound at the same time.
And this "unarpeggiated" sound is not coming from the MP-7, as the 
corresponding channel is muted. 

2. With pre delayed turned on.
This unarpeggiated sound disappears (that's good) and the arpegiator 
works fine. But then I am stuck with stuttering arpeggios, as there's 
always this pre-delay. I don't want this. I want the arpeggios sent 
to the MS2000 to sound the same as they do when I use the MP7's own 
sounds.

I'v gone through Post-delay and recycle in the manual, and they are 
not related to my problem. I've tried all the possibilities and it 
simply does not work.

Hope this clarifies the situation. I am looking forward to some help.

Cheers.
