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

Hi all,

Well, I pulled the trigger and purchased an XL-7 from e-bay. 
Cosmetically, it's in very nice condition but as I started reading 
the manual and finding my way around I noticed that some things 
didn't seem quite right.

1. An apparent lack of patterns and songs. Looks like these may have 
been deleted by the previous owner.

2. Demo song screen not available. OK, I hate Demo songs as much as 
the next person but the manual says that if I hold down the Song and 
Pattern buttons at the same time I should see a demo song screen. 
When I do this I don't see the screen shown in the manual. There is 
no mention of a demo song. This is a minor annoyance because things 
just aren't as they should be.

So, my questions are:

1. I've downloaded the Songs and Patterns zip file from E-Mu's 
website, together with e-loader. If I hook this up to a USB cable can 
I just copy (download) these back to the unit ? The e-loader manual 
makes this seem like a drag and drop operation. Is there any 
special 'magic' to this or things I need to be careful of ?

2. Is it possible to delete/restore the demo song, or am I just not 
doing something right ?

I really want to get into this thing and start playing around with 
it, so it's quite frustrating to me that things are not where they 
should be. I have many other synths (a Triton, JD-800, K2000 and 
several other E-Mu's), so I'm not frightened by the thought of 
updating/modifying the internal settings.

Thanks so much in advance for any assistance you can offer.

Best regards,
Mark
