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

Ok, thanks!  So you can't just reload it from the roms?  Guess 
that's loaded separately and the roms are just the samples and some 
simple melodies.  

I did some diagnostics and it said there were some problems with 
MIDI looping and that blks 2,3, and 4 had problems on the Pop ROM I 
just got.  But I played all the sounds and they were fine.  I also 
haven't noticed anything odd with the MIDI, though on a lot of 
default patterns the reverb seems to go crazy when you switch to 
edit certain tracks, like 11, 12, 13, etc.  Not sure if that's a 
defect, though.  I've been sending MIDI into the XL-7 to control it 
like a turntable, and that seems fine, so I don't know what it'd be 
talking about with bad "looping".

Also tried a bunch of .mid files, obviously only one at a time on 
this go round, and most internet electronica SFM's suck.  Either 
they're just one short track, but not in the right SFM to be a song, 
or they're multitrack but not constantly looping...instead with all 
the tracks open the loops just rest/cut-out on their own.  It's not 
proper multitrack design at all (i.e. loops play continuously and 
you have to mute/unmute them to perform a song).  And this doesn't 
even address the pain of the presets/samples not being properly 
designated to their respective tracks when the sequence first 
downloads.  I can obviously correct that easily, it just takes 
time.  The other issues with them aren't as easy to solve.  Anyone 
know where I can get some good MIDI's of either quality original or 
classic electronica tracks that are condusive to the XL-7?
