Hi. Thanks for the reply. I think I need to try a different MIDI interface.

Answers to your questions:

1)Yes
2)Yes. I can play the MP7 with the MIDI tracker in E-loader, and can
play Ableton instruments from the MP7 pads.
3)It's a cheapo HDE

4)No. Can't seem to get sequences to xfer to E-loader
5)Nope. The OS Downloader is failing before it gets that far.
6)When I click on the Download OS File to Target button. THe status
actually says "Download Request Received" before I press the button.
7)Yes. I booted it with the Home key held down. The display says
Searching for OS...
