Re: Problems with Windows ME and E-Loader

2001-11-09 by nifflas@musician.org

I want to know why the E-Loader software isn't a native
Windows application... I don't know why, but I don't trust java 
100%...

I'm having trouble as well, it looks like the sysex messages get 
distorted all the time (both MIDI in and out), so there's no way to 
transmit a pattern from or to the XL-7.

I didn't have that problem when I connected the Waldorf Microwave XTk 
to the same computer and made a couple of sysex dumps.

Perhaps something with the soundcard. It's quite crappy thing. MPU-
401 btw. Perhaps something about the E-Loader software? I want to 
find out. All I hope is that it isn't my XL-7, it's enough buggy 
already...
