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

Hi.
Thanks for your reply !

I just want to point out two different problems. #1 is about banks of
PATTERNS,
#2 about banks of PRESETS.

#1 is not very important. You already replyed that is is alway
possible to do something in order to avoid the problem.

But #2 is a real problem that E-LOADER do not support at all.

****************************
#1 BANKS - PATTERNS
****************************

CRTL+A select all sequences OK, and Edit->Select All as well.
-> CAN'T DOWNLOAD MULTIPLE SELECTIONS : its just specified here below !



-> OK, It is possible to SAVE AN ENTIRE BANK selectng the PATTERN BANK,


But "Get All sequences" is producing 128 .mid files and not some unique bank
file.

****************************
#2 BANKS - PRESETS
****************************
THere is nothing for handling banks of PRESETS : just midi sysex.
BUT
E-MU is profiding some files (xl-1 banks) that are defining some PRESETS
banks 0-3
AND
what I want is simply load one of these files into bank number 4-7 and NOT
default 0-3.

What it could be fine too is SELECTING a bunch of PRESETS instead of
downloding all the set at once.

Its there any simple solution to do this?

  Yes, you can too use E-Loader to download entire banks, and I found some
pretty cool features regarding this (and any multiple file/pattern
downloads) last night while preparing for a live set this weekend.  To
upload or download a bank of patterns, just select all of the patterns
(CTRL+A) and then select the file folder where you want to upload them.

  Now for the fun stuff!  Say you've got a lot of patterns that you want to
download to a bank, but you don't want to use the same bank that you
uploaded them from.  First, select all of the patterns you want and put them
in your download list.  Now, select them all if they aren't already, and hit
"CTRL+I".  this will open up a new window allowing you to change the data
type (pattern, song), bank number, and pattern number.  The cool thing, is
that if you've got multiple files you want to downlaod, you can specify
where you want them to start loading at (ie what Pattern Number), and they
will download sequentially from that point!

  Example:  I had a bunch of Patterns (actually 12 all together) from
various Banks that I wanted to assemble into one bank, to make them easier
to find live.  So I selected all the saved Pattern files from my hard drive,
and added them to my Download list.  From here, I arranged them in the order
I wanted, then pressed CTRL+I.  This opened up a new window, where I could
specify the new bank number, as well as specify that I wanted to download
all of the Patterns starting at P:001.  Hit enter and confirm, and they all
downloaded.  Now, all of my patterns for the live set were in the same Bank,
and number sequenctially from Pattern 001, regardless of what Patten number
they were saved as.  Huge improvement over E-Loader 1.0 for this reason!
Great job Scott!

  Hi everybody.

  Does anybody notice that with
  E_LOADER 1.1
  We can't upload/download an entire bank ?
  Does anybody worry about it?
  OK. Some will say that I can upload a bank through SYSEX.
  But it is "pretty" long to do this so.

  QUESTION :

  HOW CAN I SELECT THE XL-7 BANK NUMBER THAT WILL FIT THE DOWNLOADED FILE.

  e.g. there are some bank files @ emu.com. But bank numbers are default
  (0,1,2 and 3) I want to push them to 4,5,6 and 7.
