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

Ezra,

I think there were a good bit of people on this group who downloaded 
those and I don't remember hearing anyone talk about BTS presets, but 
what E-MU did was change the ROM ID from those presets listed to the 
Command Station ID thus the BTS presets were converted to kits as 
listed *below.  Correct me if I'm wrong.  This question is for people 
who have downloaded the XL-1 and Mo'Phatt presets: 

Were there BTS presets listed on(in)any of the banks downloaded?
There was no read me file given to see the changes.  The same goes 
for the 19 arp patterns and 22 presets that were listed at the XL-1 
link.  It would be nice to know what is going to be downloaded prior 
to actually doing it.


Excerpt from E-MU's website:

XL-1 Preset Banks for Your XL-7

These four banks are from the XTREME LEAD Sound Module. We have 
converted the ID of these XL-1 presets to the new XL-7 ID. These new 
banks are saved as Standard MIDI Files. They will load into your RAM 
banks (0-3) of your XL-7. Before loading, make sure you back up or 
save any custom presets you have created. If your sequencer does not 
read the file after downloading from Netscape, rename the file 
extension to .mid.
