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

A few days ago I dug out a drm.ini which had my old P2500 drms. This morning I looked at the Proteus Family System Exclusive Manual as a refresher and didn't see any commands to do either full bank dumps or individual preset dumps. If there aren't any, you could create macros in SONAR to take advantage E-Mu's remote control sysex commands. I started writing the flow, but didn't finish. It would look something like this:
Open Remote Control
Press MIDI button [remote control simulation, that is]
Scroll to the last submenu
Back up one menu to the Send MIDI Sysex Data Page
Move cursor down one line
Scroll back to the current multisetup page
. . .
etc.

When I was mining remote control for undocumented commands, I had functions like these set up in individual slots in SONAR, but you can group them together in a single slot to automate button presses remotely. For example, at one point I developed a macro that would create a whole bank of randomized presets. (I decided not to post that because I was afraid that someone would give it a try without understanding it, wipe out valuable presets, and be mad at me despite warnings that I would have posted.

Anyhow, take a look at the sysex manual. I will find some time to post my tuning table drm and break it down. I might post some of the others as well, though if you want to trigger full bank dumps or individual preset dumps, I am not sure they will be useful.

On second thought, here they are. I am not sure if this is the last version I did, which ones work, etc. the FE is what Cakewalk calls an opcode. For example:

EXAMPLE 1:
E-mu Proteus 2500 Bulk Tuning Dump Request=F0 7E 00 08 00 fe F7
Here the FE lets you input the number of the tuning table you are requesting.

EXAMPLE 2:
E-mu Command Station ROM Instrument Name Request=F0 18 0F 00 55 0c 02 fe fe fe fe F7
Here, fe fe fe fe corresponds with <xx, xx> <yy, yy> as found on page 9 of sysex manual version 2.2:
<xx, xx> = Object Number (lsb, msb order, I think)
<yy, yy> = Object ROM ID (msb, lsb order, I think)
[I will double check these]

Breakdown:
F0 = "Hey listen up; sysex command coming!"
18 = "Ï'm talkin' to E-Mu gear; anyone else, don't pay attention"
0F = "Specifically, I am talkin'to the P2K family."
00 = "and if your sysex ID is anything other then 00, just ignore the following."
55 = "Here's what I want you to do:"
0c = "Send me . . . "
02 = "the name of the ROM instument . . . "
<xx, xx> = "for the <xx, xx> ROM instrument . . . "
<yy, yy> = "for the ROM whose ID is <yy, yy>"
F7 = "OK; I'll shut up now and hope the right piece of gear was listening and does what I asked."
