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

Hi,

there are several reasons why I want to use it.

For example:
XL7 + Waldorf XTk + Waldorf Pulse 
The Waldorfs use CC50 as cutoff CC. No way to send it
from XL7 :((( you are right, that's a reason why I do it.

Otherwise it's not a big deal really because I can filter
the incoming MIDI realtime for the XL7 but it came to me
as a surprise that XL7 would die because of this.

Just watch out for no retransmission of MIDI realtime.
I took care for no MIDI Note, CC, and sysex retransmission
but assumed realtime will be no problem.
Outcome: complete freeze, embarrasment, boo-hoo from the
audience.  

Regards:
     Zsolt
