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

I saved the pattern (exporting as midifile), called it aup again and the 
changes were gone - all notes were back to 0.0.0. I have not found a way 
to fix this until now. Is there another way to change the note duration so 
it stays like it was changed (sounds rather philosophical...)?

>>>Well, the long way would be to redraw all the notes by hand in the Key 
Editor.  Honestly I can't figure out why the midifile would revert back to 
the way it was.  Stupid question I know, but you did save right befroe 
exporting right?  Also, it's not 100% confirmed, but there might be some 
issues with Cubase 5.1 and the MIDI editors that MIGHT be contributing to 
this.  For more info, go to:

Then I tried to load a different one-track-pattern to the mp-7, all notes 
longer than 0.0.0. That helps a lot! Still I think, if you have a 
16-track-pattern, my mp-7 seems to "forget" many notes even if all of them 
are longer than 0.0.0 ticks. Is it possible that in the downloading 
process there could be some overflow (my file was 20 k).

>>>How long (measures) is the pattern you're trying to import? <<<<

Another thing: My cubase-pattern was saved with a resolution of 1/480. Is 
this compatible to the resolution of the mp-7 of 1/398 (or so) or is this 
leading to missing notes?

>>>I don't know, I switched to 1/384 just to be safe.  I have a Cubase 
Song template I made that I use with the XL-7 for pattern editing, this 
was one of the settings I made, in addition to Disabling Audio, deleteing 
audio tracks, etc. <<<

Is there a way to change the channel-number of a track in cubase? I 
changed numbers, copied and pasted to different tracks, changed 
channel-numbers again and so on. All seems fine until I open the file 
again and all tracks are set back to the original unwanted setting. There 
must be a way how to assign channel numbers in the event-list or so? Am I 
wrong?

>>>Sounds like nothing you do in Cubase is saving, which makes this more 
of a Cubase problem, and less of an XL-7 one.  :)  Maybe roll back to an 
earlier version (are you using the public betas?), or reinstall it real 
quick to see if that helps.  Are you using a warez version? Sorry, had to 
ask. As for the channels, just changing then on the arrange page should do 
it, I've never had any problems with that myself.  Have you tried saving 
the arrangement as a new name after the changes too?  Try that, and 
instead of launching Cubase via your desktop icon, try double clicking on 
the new arrangement file in Windows Explorer or My Computer.  <<<

Sorry, these are more like cubase issues and I try to keep it short. Still 
quite a few groupies here seem to use the same sequencer and might like to 
know as well may be...

>>>De nada.  Cubase is a huge program, there's a lot to learn!  Also, 
maybe try jumping on the cubase list too and asking about these issues. 
Not the best list IMO, but they do have a lot of experienced users on 
there. <<<
