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

Hi everyone!!

Just purchased a new XL-7 and I'm loving it so far. 

However, I'm having a problem downloading the latest OS version 
1.01   When I launch the E-Loader application I'm able to select 
the .dli file, but when i go to the "configure Midi Device menu" my 
only options in the(input and output ports) are "none" 
and "soundblaster PCI128." How do i get the EMU sound module to show 
up in those windows so that I can select them?
Is there something I'm missing here?

Any and all suggestions appreciated!

Much appreciated,
Gazz

You need to configure your OMS setup for XL-7 first. Then you have to have your midi interface on and connected. then try it again.

Cheers

 Please pardon my ignorance but what is OMS
set up? and Midi interface? Is that something I need in addition to 
the midi expansion cable that I have connected between my sound card  
and the XL-7 ??

You probably don't need a midi interface, since XL-7 is you only midi gear., but your soundcard has to have at least 1x In and 1x out, which you will interconnect to XL-7 In and out (2 cables).

i assume you have Mac:
Then download OMS for free at http://www.opcode.com �and install it.
Then open the software by going to OMS studio setup, and then select auto-detect midi devices, here you sound card should show........then add on your XL-7 manually by opening new device menu
then give it canal 1..........then save the setting and close OMS then go to e-loader and try again..

Good luck

(oh I forgot..you have PC......but it's basically the same procedure)
