You welcome :-) I've spent some time digging into E-Mu's eLoader, just
to eventually realize that this thing is not really XL7-specific :)

The only remaining XL7-specific part seems to be the file naming.

It seems to be formatted as (with the field names used inside eLoader):
<type>:<romID>.<item>:<name>
where type can be "PRE", "SNG", or "PAT".

HTH!
