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

Don't worry about it there are a lot of people who don't know the 
difference between MIDI and Audio and it is more confusing because 
when you play a midi file on your computer you hear sound.  

like Wesley D said midi is not audio but is information.  if you send 
a midi sequence to your XL7 it will sound different that if you sent 
the same midi sequence to a redsound elevata.  that is because midi 
basically just tells the thing recieving it what keys were pushed.  
It does take a little bit to get your head around it.  It does much 
more than that but that is the basics.  it aslo sends start ans stope 
information and timecode info.  so if you had 2 xl-7s you could 
connect them via midi and press play on one and both would start at 
the same time and would play at the same tempo.
