MP7 MANUAL/ OS QUESTION /PLZ HELP

2003-09-15 by laker482

Hi,
I just purchased an MP7 off of ebay and it has OS 1.0 loaded on.  
According to the EMU website if I understand correctly I can't get 
the latest OS update from E-Loader through USB because USB is only 
supported from a subsequent OS upgrade.  So I first have to get a 
MIDI connection in order to get the latest operating system?

Also, How do i reset the machine so it has the original factory 
settings, since i got it off ebay i think theres some settings, stuff 
thats been altered and i just want it to be clean, on the EMU website 
knowledge base they have a page on how to do it but it says it will 
remove all factory patterns or something?.. wat does that exactly 
mean.. its still going to have all the sounds right? any 
clarification would be appreciated

Lastly, the only things i got was the mp7 and the power cord.  I was 
wondering if theres anywhere I can find an original EMU MP7 physical 
manual in the binder form.  When I called EMU at first they denied 
ever having a manual for it and that it was always just in digital 
form.. I had to speak to another more competent person and explain 
that Ive seen pictures of the actual manual from ebay and read 
reviews about it etc , I dont know if its true or not but he says now 
they dont do the physical manual anymore and its only on CD now in 
the PDF form.  I found it on the website, but to have to print all 
380 something pages out and having to thumb through that is a major 
hassle, does anyone know where I can find an original manual or does 
anyone have one they would be willing to sell to me? And other than 
the manual is the E-Loader software for MIDI connection the only 
other thing thats included in the package when the MP7 is bought new? 

Sorry for the long post but the EMU support really sucks and I don't 
know where else to get any answers

Thanks,
Kiren Gopal
