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

Ed, I have never had 2 units side-by-side to transfer banks like you 
are trying to do; but you might try transferring the banks from Unit 
1 to Unit 2 with the ROMS installed in Unit 1 and then move the ROMS 
to Unit 2. Another option to try would be to store the sysex banks on 
a computer as an intermediate step. (I use SONAR.)

It makes perfect sense that you'd get the "not installed" message in 
the unit that doesn't have the ROMs, but I don't understand why you'd 
get that in the one that has the ROMs. 

Until you mentioned it, I had no thoughts as to what might happen to 
the integrity of the data if you try to transmit user presets with 
the ROMs removed. I'd be interested in doing a comparison, though. If 
you want, send me (a) one (or more) user bank(s)--in sysex file 
format from the unit 1 without the ROMs and (b) the same user bank(s) 
from unit 1 with the ROMs back in there.

Are you saying e-loader doesn't transfer patterns? (I assume you are 
saving them to computer first and then either switching the XL-7s or 
the midi setup--if you have them connected on two port.)

Is the sysex ID the same on both XL-7s?
