Thanks for all the response!
I've tried everything but I'm afraid Brandon is right. There is no solution. 
The xl7 is not usable as a slave. Making it the master is not an option for 
me cause I realy want my brother to set the tempo. I'am playing the bass too 
so let him do that job.
I can do several things. Wat do you guys think is the best:
1 buy a midi filter.
2 buy a "masterclock tempo controler thing" and let the electribe be slave 
of that too.
3 buy another sequencer.
4 My brother wants to buy a mac mini and use ableton live for his 
drumsounds. I wait for that and see if I can fix things then.

Thanks for your help!

Tim
