You have a pop-up warning that says the software cannot access banks greater than bank 3 on Command Stations.  I verified that the software cannot get bank 4 on an XL-7 Version 2 ROM nor banks 4 -> 7 on a CMPSR ROM.  For some reason, it can get the higher banks on the CMPSR ROM from a 1 ru box.

I just took a quick look at the sysex guide and cannot figure out what sysex you might be using that would work on a P2K but  not a CS/P2500. Only LCD-related Requests and Messages seem to be for the P2000 and Audity only--unless your pulling of the info for the basic channel uses that strategy.

Hmmmm.  If that's what the software does, that might explain another warning pop-up I get when I start E-Mu Lib. "You may have an incompatible 'Blank' file." etc.

Neither of these issue would deter me from using and recommending the software.

Evidently on April 12th I used the previous version to get all 4 P2500 User Banks, and combined them into a 512 preset *.LIB file. Tonight, I was able to load that file.  As for Factory Presets, I suppose I could transfer them to a user bank and then get them that way if I wanted to add them to a *.LIB File.

That being said, I already created a CMPSR ROM *.LIB file from a P2K, so if anyone has a CMPSR ROM in a CS/P2500 and really wants banks 4-7, I can make it available.  However, I think Sean@E-Mu's conversion of the 8 CMPSR preset banks for our 16-controller boxes (CS/P2500) would be more functional.
