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

Hi,

I recorded midifiles (drumpatterns) from cakewalk sonar to the mp7 
and saved the patterns.
1. Since then I noticed that the kickdrum on track 1 (kit preset) in 
another user pattern that I programmed earlier changed to a hihat 
sound. I never changed a thing on this pattern! Weird.
2. The drum pattern I recorded started very low and heavily equalised 
with no trebles at all. When I change the preset drum kit (factory)
the volume has gone up and the eq sounds as it is supposed to do. I 
switch back to the original drum set and everything seems okay. When 
I restart the pattern from the first bar I have the same problem 
again. I assume there is a controller event messing the mix up? How 
can I get rid of it? I failed using the new edit  pattern feature in  
OS 1.18.
3. I saved my recorded patterns but the presets on the tracks still 
change every time I restart the mp7. Why is that? When I change 
patterns the presets do not change despite the different settings I 
saved? Uuumh?

Anybody who knows whats going on here?

>>>Try reloading your current Multisetup, see if that works.  I have to do 
that whenmine does the same thing you mention.  Interestingly enough, my 
kick is also replaced by a HH :) <<<

2. The drum pattern I recorded started very low and heavily equalised with 
no trebles at all. When I change the preset drum kit (factory) the volume 
has gone up and the eq sounds as it is supposed to do. I switch back to

>>>Sonar should have a MIDI List Editor, use that to look at the track 
that's giving you problems.  You'll be able to see all the MIDI info 
happening in your pattern, including the offending CC message. <<<

3. I saved my recorded patterns but the presets on the tracks still change 
every time I restart the mp7. Why is that? When I change patterns the 
presets do not change despite the different settings I saved? Uuumh?

>>>You accidentally recorded some Program Changes in your pattern and 
saved them.  Everytime the pattern loops the new sounds get selected 
right?  Use the Event List Editor (or Sonar's List Editor) again to remove 
any PC messages. <<<<

Select the Midi Button and turn the dail to SELECT PROGRAM CHANGE and 
turn certain channels that are on to off. I had this problem also 
when I had a certain sound selected and when I restart the pattern 
everything would change. It piss me off for awhile so I started 
playing with the settings. I had to go check again but I think how 
you resolved that problem.

>>>If you do this though, you can't switch patterns or they won't load up 
with their respective Presets.  So it's a temporary fix at best. <<<

Try this to see if it works... Select the EDIT button and turn the 
knob to Erase events and select CC# 7 VOLUME and erase the volume 
events from those tracks that are changing. Doing this has solve alot 
of volume issues for me.

>>>Try CC 74 too! <<<

Eric, Boomtap, thank you for your great help!!
Don´t you feel our gear keeps us writing bug reports instead of 
making music?? (I´m not talking about the controller issue here...)

I Is got the same Opinion As Realm!

noting is Imposible!

if u is thinking this box is giving you the Hard times.. instead 
of,.. the high times Dont just keep it. Sample its sounds and sell it 
to someone else.

I Personally know more than 1 person which would be willing to buy it 
any time second hand ;)
