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

I have a new Emu MP-7 hooked MIDI (probably incorrectly) to my 
Ensoniq ZR-76 keyboard. When i play the keys on the keyboard, i hear 
both the preset from the mp-7 that i want and also the note/sound 
from the keyboard. Is their a setting i am missing or something?/ I 
would like to hear the mp-7 sound only. Can i also record this mp-7 
sound into the sequencer and recorder of the zr-76 as a track 
also ?? Is their any good beginner MIDI sites out their that could 
help me figure out how to get my PC to recognize the MIDI signal 
from the mp7. I tried to upgrade to the new version with eloader but 
it wont recognize or communicate with each other.

thanks
Nick

I don't recall specifically how to set this (I've only been an 
owner of the XL7 for three days now), but you can set the machine to 
only send MIDI trigger data instead of sending AND playing a preset.

  It's described pretty early on in the manual if I remember 
correctly.

  Also, I'd just like to say that this is one of the most whoopass 
machines I've ever used. I used to have 3 of the Electribes (EA, ER, 
and ES), and even for entry level machines they weren't particularly 
intuitive. This beast is amazingly powerful and easy to learn!

pattern edit 
page 7 
set the midi ch to inter to hear the internal sounds 
set it to ext to hear other midi devices in the chain
set to both to hear both ..

hey who ever wrote about the es being inferior check yourself ..
with those machines you can get some bad ass ideas down quick and as 
far as live pay goes it so easy to write patterns right on the 
fly ..simple machines but very effective ones  ...peace

I said it wasn't particularly intuitive - not inferior :)

create a patch on your keyboard that is just silence.  a blank patch.  or if it 
will let you, you should be able to tell wether to use internal sounds or jsut 
external.  cant help you with computer bit though

Just turn down the volume on the ZR-76?
