Re: problems with preset upload

2005-09-19 by eriksatie01

Yesterday I had tried again to upload the preset for Techno rom from 
Rob Papen site. I've slowed the tempo down in cubase to 60 bpm, the 
upload went slighltly better than before but I still have bugged 
presets.
so I went down to 20 bpm and my xl7 has gon crazy: in the middle of 
the midi dump, the xl7 begun to play the demo song, without pressing 
any button, and I had to power it down to stop it (!!)
what can I do? could be the midi interface?
please help me, it is important for me to solve this problem because 
in the future I will surely have to back up and restore my presets.

bye
