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

I tried to connect my E-MU MP-7 drum machine to my laptop using a 
Edirol USB - Audio interface, but all my laptop picked up was a low 
static.  I'm thinking that I need to send the MP-7 signal through a 
stereo amplifier before it goes into the USB interface.  I wish I 
didn;t have to use a stereo amp b/c I don't got the $ to buy one.  Do 
you connect the drum machine to your laptops without using MIDI?  I 
wish I could send the MP-7 signal to my laptop  through the HOST 
connector that's on the back of the drum machine.

Levels out of the XX-7 are line levels and will so more than static on a
working input.  Have you used your Edirol inputs before...are they
configured ok?  And have you checked the output of the XX-7 and is the XX-7
volume pot turned up?

The Yamaha DJX works with the Edirol.  I connected the DJX to my 
laptop using the Edirol, so I expected it to be the same with the MP-
7.  I know the MP-7 output works, b/c I connect headphones to the MP-
7 and I hear it.

Also, make sure you are using a TS (2 conductor) plug in the output of the
XX-7 it does not have balanced outs and the UA-25 (if you are using that
one) does.

I use the UA-1X and I'm connecting the xx-7 to the ua-1x with a 
2RCA - 2 1/4 in. cable.
