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

ques #1:Does it require that you have a midi interface to use the command 
station? or its jus required if you are using the computer as a sequencer? 


>>>The XX-7's are completely standalone units, so you don't need a midi 
interface unless you are sequencing froma  computer sequencer, or if you 
need to update the OS. <<<

ques #2: why is it that the instructions for the E-loader only show images 
of Mac OS and not a Windows based system? its not helping me b'cuz I have 
a windows is there an alternate version?

>>>E-Loader will work with Windows systems just fine.  In fact it works 
better with Windows systems that it does Mac systems, as the Mac USB 
drivers were never released. <<<<

ques #3: I was tryin to understand whut exactly the E-loader does..Does it 
Save SMF only or does it save both Presets and SMF?

>>>Yes, saves your pattern and song data, which is essentially SMF plus 
some set up data as well.  Unfortunately, E-Loader does not support Preset 
loading and saving, and likely never will (this sucks ass, I admit).  You 
can still back up your presets to the PC via sysex dumps to a software 
sequencer though. <<<

ques #4: When I want to save my performance does XL-1/E-loader save in 
real time to my computer or is it saving to tha command station memory 
until I upload my saves to my computer?

>>>It will save to the Command Station first always. <<<

ques #5: How do I assign my own preset drum kit to the pads? is it 
possible? or do I have to use a kit and its sounds "as is"? I currently 
have an MPC2000xl and Im accustomed to assigning tha drums myself.

>>>Well, you can only use the kits as is in terms of the samples assigned 
to them (is, you can't pick the drum samples you liek the most and make 
you're own kits).  There's numerous work arounds though, since you can 
link more than one preset.  Do a search in the list archives, plenty of 
info on this from others. ,<<
