Hmmmm. This might work, too. Since mine is the P2500 [no pads], I 
can't test it. If it works for you, it is better than my solution, as 
it requires fewer steps to achieve. I assume the settings are as 
follows:

MIDI settings:
---BASE TEMPO: ext
---RECHANNELIZE INPUT: off 
---EXTERNAL SONG START/STOP: accepted
---MIDI IN CHANNELS: 1 to 16: B

PATTERN EDIT settings [I used T01]:
---CHANNEL ASSIGN Channel: MultiA Dest: Int

The incoming clock/start/stop still works, but the incoming data is 
routed to B which is not routed to the sequencer.

If you were merging an external midi device with the electribe into 
the E-Mu, then I think my solution should work.
