i uploaded the System Exclusive versions of those banks to the files section
of the Yahoo Group, if that helps.

initially i played each .mid file from the E-mu site back at a swift 120bpm
in Digital Performer and it worked ok. some questions to ask yourself:

a)  is my XL-7 receiving MIDI from my computer's sequencer AT ALL?

b)  is my MIDI SysEx Packed Delay time out set to 50 milliseconds? (anything
higher = slowness, anything lower and you risk losing some data - maybe
someone else has some input on this? by the way it's in the MIDI menu.)

c)  am i blasting the sequence at 180bpm or something? 120bpm worked for me,
try 100bpm if it is still rejecting it.

if you have a sys-ex dump utility download the banks i've uploaded and send
those with your sys-ex utility - they seem to work better than sequencers
for sending program data to/from synths.

there's some good stuff in those XL-1 banks. :D
