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

jp,

Someone else is going to have to take this one.  You see, I just have 
the Midiman Winman 2x2 midi interface that I strictly use for 
downloading presets only.  My new computer has the Creative/E-MU 
Soundblaster Live card but since I use a hardware sequencer, I won't 
have the answer's you need.

Sorry,

M2
