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

I recorded midifiles (drumpatterns) from cakewalk sonar to the mp7 and 
saved the patterns.

1. Since then I noticed that the kickdrum on track 1 (kit preset) in 
another user pattern that I programmed earlier changed to a hihat sound. I 
never changed a thing on this pattern! Weird.

>>>Try reloading your current Multisetup, see if that works.  I have to do 
that whenmine does the same thing you mention.  Interestingly enough, my 
kick is also replaced by a HH :) <<<

2. The drum pattern I recorded started very low and heavily equalised with 
no trebles at all. When I change the preset drum kit (factory) the volume 
has gone up and the eq sounds as it is supposed to do. I switch back to 
the original drum set and everything seems okay. When I restart the 
pattern from the first bar I have the same problem 
again. I assume there is a controller event messing the mix up? How can I 
get rid of it? I failed using the new edit  pattern feature in  OS 1.18.

>>>Sonar should have a MIDI List Editor, use that to look at the track 
that's giving you problems.  You'll be able to see all the MIDI info 
happening in your pattern, including the offending CC message. <<<

3. I saved my recorded patterns but the presets on the tracks still change 
every time I restart the mp7. Why is that? When I change patterns the 
presets do not change despite the different settings I saved? Uuumh?

>>>You accidentally recorded some Program Changes in your pattern and 
saved them.  Everytime the pattern loops the new sounds get selected 
right?  Use the Event List Editor (or Sonar's List Editor) again to remove 
any PC messages. <<<<
