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

- mp-7 runs (sometimes not) even if the tempo in the controller menu is 
set to ext., (is this a bug?)

>>>Was it running originally before the tempo was set to EXT?  I was 
getting some weirdness with this too when linked to my Micro Sync, even 
before I activated the Micro sync.  Thought maybe I had accidentally 
pressed play on the MS without realizing it... <<<

- midi data is received on the mp-7 (red light on) even if cakewalk as 
master stops 

>>>Not a bug, some gear sends out MIDI signals (sensing I think it's 
called) when not playing back.  My CS2x does this too when connected to 
the XL-7. <<<<.

- timing problems when mastering cakewalk from the mp7

>>>What problems? Out iof curiousity, why use the MP as the master?  Your 
tempo would probably be tighter if Cakewalk was the master.  Could be your 
MIDI interface too.  I had a slight timing problems using the MIDI port on 
my Layla24, but when I swapped it to my girlfriend's MIDIsport 2x2, 
everything was fine.  That's a hard one to nail down. <<<

- incorrect detection of tempo when synced to cakewalk, tempo changes on 
the display, but the beat ist stable

>>>I DEFINITELY get this one too when I set the XL-7 to sync to EXT (Micro 
Sync).  The tempo the XL-7 is getting is rock solid, yet the tempo display 
is all over the place! <<<

omissions:
- no track/pattern delete function (only via cut to...)

>>> Erase events works for tracks, not sure how you would implement the 
pattern one though.  Similiar to my Initial Pattern suggestion sounds 
like. <<<

- no replace-function when copying tracks over existing tracks (only 
merge)

>>>Oh yeah!  That would help save a lot of time! <<<

Nice ones!
