Re: [xl7] NO sound output from P2500 while playing keys through xp 60 keyboard.

2003-05-02 by erik_magrini@Baxter.com

Yes  when I press a key on the xp-60 ,I can see the  MIDI in INDICATOR 
lighting up  (RED in colour) on the P2500 module. Yes ,both are set to 
same  MIDI  Channel 1. Selected the factory presets. I  have checked the 
midi cables and they are working with other midi  devices . Also I 
re-installed  the software E-loader 1.1,also the MTP AV USB is installed 
with the latest drivers.

>>>Ok, well that rules out the obvious ones then :) <<<

It looks like the o.s. has been corrupted ,or has the midi controller gone 
bad.we are not sure.

>>>Yeah, I saw that emu has the new OS on their site now, so you could try 
downloading it from there again.  Additionally, I'll attach the exact same 
OS file I used to update my XL_7 to this email, so you try that one too:



(Recently I have upgraded (using o.s. loader 1.0)  the PROTEUS 2000  to 
o.s. ver 2.26, with this same setup,but I could not upgrade the P2500 
module using E-loader 1.1).

>>>This leads me to believe that it's either an issue with the OS file 
being corrupted, or something is unfortunately wrong with the P2500 and it 
may need to be sent in for servicing. <<<

Also can we upgrade  the P2500 module using another  P2500 module. For eg. 
 Transferring O.S from one  P2500 module  to  another P2500  module using 
midi cables ,without using e-loader and the computer. Pls let us know if 
this possible.

>>>Hmmm, I'm at work right now and don't have the XL-7 in front of me to 
check this, but I don't think it's possible.  If it is, it would be an 
option in the Diagnostics section, which you can access by turning on the 
P2500 while holding both of the cursor buttons.  MIght want to check in 
there and see if you see that option.  Unless Aaron or Sean pops in and 
tells us otherwise. <<<

Again your help is needed.

>>>Trying the best I can! <<<
