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

Patches are usually either in System Exclusive format (.syx), or as in this particular case a System Exclusive MIDI dump saved in a MIDI sequence (.mid). E-loader does not deal with this kind of data, only with sequence files used as patterns and songs. So, you will need to use another program to send the patch banks from E-mu's site to your MP.

Just open the .mid file in your sequencer of choice and play it directly to your MP - you may need to change the track destination to make sure the data track is directed to the MP. Leave it running until it reaches the end of the data block.

Alternately, you can use one of these free programs to directly load the file to your MP-7:

Mac OS X:  SysEx Librarian ( http://www.snoize.com/SysExLibrarian/ ) (freeware)
Windows:  MIDI-OX ( http://www.midiox.com/ ) (free for non-commercial use)

> Hey, Thanks Steve that did the trick. I was finally able to open the file. I have downloaded E loader 1.0 and installed the upgrade to MP-7 the new version successfully to 2.0 from 1.31.  The only issues or minor ones  1.)  I have been trying to figure out the presets for download on the Emu support page. I have tried to download whats offered on that page to the patterns section of E loader, but they will not play once downloaded. I don't know what bank section they should go in, songs or patterns. I don't see any preset download section in the manual at all, only songs and patterns info ie.. SMF files (sequences) upload and download.   2.) The Midi Tracker window of E loader does not show the channel info MSB, LSB etc..... I really appreciate all of you guys help.  I am a film student thats required to design and score soundtracks for the movies that I create any little advice goes a long way.
