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

NiR,

That worked.  After I hooked up the midi cables to the XL-7, I 
launched the Massiva program, selected the arp pattern midi file 
first, hit enter and they appeared in the user arp section.  I then 
did the same for the bank 2 and 3 extension presets for the TSCY ROM 
and they all appeared with no problem.  It's seems that until the E-
loader program can except preset mode, an outside sequencer will do 
the trick. The Massiva program (www.massiva.com) that I use, used to 
be freeware but I don't think so anymore but there is one that is 
still freeware called Midi-Ox at (www.midiox-com) which is primarily 
used for sysex transfers but has a playback utility in it called 
Midibar. 
Once you open that program(midiox), you will see what looks like a 
little red fish (it's actually the letters m & b)in the task bar.  
Click on it to open up the midibar utility, click on the folder icon 
and select the midi file that you want and click the "play" arrow.


What are the other user's on this group doing to download presets?

Later,

M2
