I'm afraid not. The recently-updated Proteus 2000 module (which supports the 
XL-1, Orbit 3 and other Proteus 2000-based modules) still has a problem 
accessing the patches of the XL-7, MP-7, and Proteus 2500-based units 
(including the newer MP-6/XL-6/PK-6/Halo keyboards).

This problem is independent of the installed ROM configuration (I tried this 
morning with a TSCY ROM in my XL-7, same result).

I've been on to E-mu and Emagic both about this issue for the last thirteen 
months, and there doesn't seem to be a resolution. I feel really cheated and 
disappointed in all this, as I merely wanted an XL-1 with a hardware 
sequencer, using the computer for patch creation.

Is anyone at E-mu going to address this problem (or should I downtrade my 
XL-7 for an XL-1 Turbo that DOES work with SoundDiver)?
