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

Command Stations/P2500s do not echo incoming midi clocks. Also, if 
the E-Mu is at the end of a midi daisy chain, there is little or no 
timing reliability. I used to use a MOTU MIDI router (8 x 8 parallel 
port version) to avoid the daisy chain problem. 

I solved the problem of trying to sync gear with Sonar (and other 
clock producing gear--such as intelligent arrangers) by creating 
different Multisetups depending on whether the E-Mu was clock master 
or slave. I could not do this without the router.

As far as midi clocks/sync OS 2.0 still tops previous versions.
