I suppose you could drive an RX-7 with any object you like, but you
might get pulled over.  Though I suppose with the twin-turbo version,
you might be able to outrun the cops...

All joking aside, I'm not *quite* sure I understand what you're asking,
but I'll give it a shot.  I assume you're trying to sync up the XL-7
tempo-wise to the EG 101.  To do that, you'll need to have the EG101
transmit MIDI clock, and have the XL-7 sync to it (by dialing the tempo
all the way counter-clockwise till it says "ext").

As far as the realtime transpose thing, the XL-7 doesn't do that.  You
could, however, have the EG 101 actually play the notes on the XL-7,
but I have a feeling that's not what you were intending to do...
