Question about MP7 with Cubase SX.  how can i push play on the 
transport bar in cubase SX and have the MP7 sync to the sequencer in 
Cubase?  mainly i just want to record in realtime some of my drum 
sequences without having to import midi files through e-loader which 
takes too long to mess with.  so if i had SX set to loop 5 bars, and 
i had MP7 (pattern) set to loop 5 bars, then wouldn't that make sense 
for them to work together?  is this possible?  i would have all the 
same channels (and presets) in the machine assigned to channels in 
cubase and i would like to be able to record in realtime, directly 
from the machine into cubase.  basically i keep thinking of 
steinberg's reason and how it works with programs in slave mode.  i 
think reason is for kids, but i like the idea of how it syncs with 
programs easily.  am i missing something in the manual?  thanks for 
any replies...

You need to go to the transport menu in SX, then Synchronization.  From 
here, select the MIDI port your MP-7 is connected to in the "Midi Clock" 
box.  Then make sure the MP-7 is set to "accept ext start/stop" and that 
the tempo is set to 000 (ext).

BTW, Reason is most definitely not for kids.  If could only bring one app 
with me on a desert island, that would be the one.  That's like saying the 
MP-7 is a toy because it's a 'groovebox'.
