Re: problems with preset upload

2005-08-17 by eriksatie01

sorry for not answering, I had a problem with my mail.
I've tried to slow down but when it starts to play the file, cubase go
back to 120 bpm... maybe there is some kind of command in the midi
file to be played at that speed...
that's way I tried with midiOX, but with no succes. Someone can tell
me how to set the various speed parameter in midiox? I mean buffer
size, delay...
the strange about it is that the bad preset sounds all the same! has
the xl7 a "default" instrument that is loaded in case it cannot find
the right one? i cannot listen to it anymore, it gives me headhake...
my evolution keyboard has only a midi out, so the xl7 cannot
comunicate with my pc. does it matter?
