> Is the XL-7 configured to recoqnize GM automatically?

No, it's not. Most CC's is different, not to mention the way you 
change bank / preset (all this mess with cc 0, 32 and program change 
messages), so you'll have to change some things manually (edit 
the .mid files) in order to get this work.

I don't recommend the XL-7 for GM playback. The only thing you get 
with the ZR board is the GM presets, but not complete GM compability.

Perhaps you could find a cheap GM module at ebay.com - since GM is, 
to tell the truth, a quite lousy standard (imho) most pro synths 
doesn't support it. (Yet I can of course see a reason to have a GM 
module in order to play GM .mid files)
