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

Hi Z,

Thanks for the suggestions. I went through the self tests and 
everything checks out fine.

Now my next problem is getting the songs and patterns back into the 
unit via e-loader.

XP SP2 does not recognize the XL-7 via MIDI. It seems to require 
special drivers. Since I did not get any when I purchased it does 
anyone know if they are available for download ?

Worst case scenario I could use MIDI, but since USB is easy and 
convenient I'd like to start there if I could.

Cheers,
Mark
