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

Pressing the play button on my PX-7 makes the top bar in Logic turn
blue, not sure what this means, but all midi data is then stopped
(through logic) until I press play in Logic.  Has anybody experienced
this with their XX-7 as well?  I don't necessarily want to start/stop
logic with my PX-7, but I do want to use it as a controller (pads and
knobs)

Hi,
when the location bar turns blue it means Logic is slaved to
incoming sync clock. That's OK if you want to run your PX7 as
master. In Logic sync prefs there's Auto-Sync In, it means when
Logic senses incoming clock it will automatically sync to it.
If you enable song position pointer (is it sent from the EMU
command stations ? if anybody knows, please answer...) then,
well, this is obvious.
If Logic is not playing along your EMU then there's midi loop,
sync problems, or the conbination of the two.
Using the EMU as a controller is no problem, just enable
sending MIDI info for pads+knobs on the EMU and process it
further in Logic if required (in the environment for example).

I have the same setup only with XL7 + Logic 5.5 PC and works
beautiful. If you need detailed help contact me privately.

Regards,
     Zsolt

The Logic ruler turns blue when it is locked to or  waiting for sync.  The PX-7 sends start and stop messages if  enabled.  You can do one of two things.  First, you can turn  the transmission of start/stop on the PX-7.  It's in the MIDI  menu.  Alternatively, you could disable the reception of sync in  Logic.  I think you hold the mouse down on the little clock button  and pick sync settings.  Disable all or the clock stuff.

I lied.  There's no option to not send  start/stop from the Command Stations, only clock.  Do what Zsolt  said and disable it in Logic.
  
  Oh, and yes Zsolt, the CSs do both transmit and recieve SPP.
