I did get it to work on it's own without midiyoke. Maybe not in the same way that you're explaining. E-loader is a pain on some XP systems as everyone knows. But it's working.
Now you and Andrew have a certain work flow in Ableton that I don't think may assist me. I just use Ableton as a sampler with VST support. I don't do any midi editing after the fact. I think for me that would be taking the scenic route. ie, the long way around. Now for full blown house trax, yeah... it's critical that you can see everything on screen. But I'm trying to figure if Ableton just does one track at a time for .mid import/export, than how does one select the target midi channel when you're doing one part at a time? I mean I know how to dump a sequence back and forth to my PX-7 and E-loader. But obviously I have several parts within in that pattern that I need. So I have say this great arpeggio that I have going. Ok in E-loader it appears that only one track (single track/single channel) midi file can be imported/exported into the CS... where do the rest of the parts go without being overwritten? How do you seperate these track from writing over the top of them over and over and burning up your time. See, this is what I am saying... all this stuff "works"... Yes. But from a speed and productivity point of view.. it's questionable. Oh, I don't even need to think about it. I'll be honest. It slows me down. But it does work.

> All this stuff works great on paper, and theoretically it's supposed to do this or that.1. Install MIDI Yoke (a "virtual MIDI cable", which connects one
software to another).
2. Get your stuff done in Ableton.
3. Install any other MIDI sequencer that can record multitrack - I
think Smasher would do (it's free and seems interesting on its own),
but you can use anything else. I would (personally) use my old,
venerable Cakewalk 3.0 - no multitrack, but you can easily do "split
by channel" later.
4. Connect the output of Ableton to MIDI Yoke, then use it as input
for Another Sequencer (AS).
5. Set AS to be a MIDI slave - external MIDI Clock etc.
6. Set Ableton to transmit MTC (MIDI Time Code), so you can press
Record in AS and it won't start recording until you press Play in
Ableton.
7. Record MIDI in AS, export to multitrack MIDI file.
8. Upload thru Eloader and enjoy.
Yeah, there's some hassle involved. But once you get this procedure
working, it will be a no-brainer. And if you find Ableton more
powerful than CS in building patterns, I think it's worth of one day
spent on getting those things rolling.
Cheers,
Bruno
