RE: Saving/loading Patterns -Eloader *not a valid midi file error* trying to load
2014-03-22 by <exit_ride@...>
I played back and recorded some of the patterns (as mid files) in Cubase, going to try to see what's wrong.
I also created some new files from an empty slot - named without unusual characters from the get go - and nothing out of the ordinary. The emu loader won't recognize it as a valid midi file either. I will try to record the midi file back from Cubase into the MP7 in an empty slot and see if that makes a difference.
Cubase can explode the midi file into channels, so hopefully the MP7 will accept (record) the file just fine to use for backup purposes.
Off topic sort of - - I started off just saving user presets with the same altered name only in a user slot. Quickly realized that this was a mess and I was unable to determine which User preset slots were used in a pattern and which are old/ unused. I figure I will start out with some sort of Naming system where I use first characters to reconize a saved preset in a Pattern. Is there a way to clear/ initialize all user presets? Probably a lot of the problem here is that the Command Station was filled with user presets already with no name changes so it was hard to tell what is used where.
