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

If you have a complete midi loop between your computer (using e-
loader) and your xl-7 (and the sysex ID is correctly listed in the 
set up), are your patterns xl-7 patterns listed in thr bank browser?

If so, select whichever patterns you want to save, right click and 
choose "get selected sequences. Then navigate to the folder where 
you want to save the patterns.

If your patterns are not listed, and you are sure your e-loader 
settings are correct (both ports and sysex ID), try pressing 
refresh.  As soon as you do, both the green and red leds (midi out 
and in leds) on the xl-7 should flash one and off very rapidly for 
about 3 seconds.

If they don't, what does it say in slot 0 of the e-loader bank 
browser? If it says <not received> and slots 1 - 127 say <no name 
loaded> then you do not have e-loader and the xl-7 set up to 
communicate with each other via midi system exclusive commands for 
some reason. 

Is there any device in your system that might be filtering out the 
sysex commands? This is important because because the pattern dumps 
use sysex to transfer the songs via midi.

Hope this helps.

As for the e-mu's usb port, you cannot use that as a substitute for 
midi. You either need a midi interface or a device such as a usb 
keyboard that has a selectable midi port.
