I knew this would happen. I try to take the first tentative steps to
downloading the new OS and I can't even establish a midi
connection.What on earth do I have to do to get the E-Loader device
configuration boxes to say XL-7? Ps I hate computers and they all
know who I am.
Thanks Bryan2002-01-24 by Scott Ruda

Ok, I'm not the person who asked the original question, however, I have having a similar problem. I tried numerous different ways of getting the MIDI interface to connect properly from my Proteus 2500(which is the basically the same as the MP7 and the XL7 without the keypad), and I haven't had any success with the E-Loader either, sucks too because supposedly with the 2500 I can load all of the factory preset songs and patterns for both the XL7 and the MP7 via the E-Loader. I'm using Windows 2000 ServPak2, with a Creative Labs AWE64 Sound Card. I loaded the Microsoft Java Runtime Engine and that didn't seem to work. Haven't tried the Sun version thats on the CD yet, which is a recommended alternative in the FAQ's posted in files in this users group. I'm going to try that next. But, any other suggestions would be helpful. Thanks, jp

jp, Without the ROM's from the XL-7(X-LEAD#9089)and the MP-7(Pure Phatt#9062)in your 2500, the sounds you are trying to download will NOT work. The presets are directed to pull information from the ROM itself.

You just say you can't get it to connect properly. Does E-Loader launch correctly? [testing installation] Do your sound card's MIDI ports show up in the MIDI Configuration lists? What are they called? (Input and Output). [testing MIDI drivers] If you choose 'Show Available MIDI Devices' in the MIDI menu, does the XL-7 show up in the list? [testing for bi-directional MIDI connection] If you open the MIDITracker window and then play the keypad on the XL-7 do you see activity in the window? [testing for input connection] If you click with your mouse on the MIDITracker channel strips does it play your XL-7? [testing for output connection] Scott

jp, Glad to help. The units are identical less the ribbon and drum pads on the 2500, oh, and sound set of course. You had mentioned that you really wanted the XL-7. Why did you go with the 2500 instead? As far as advantages, it really depends on the music you like. I like all styles so it's really up to you. Do you have a good keyboard controller? If you do then I'd say use the expansion slots(you have 3 open)and get the X-LEAD ROM # 9089 and use your controller keys. The 2500 is nice but my only gripe is that I wish it had more than the 3 extra expansion slots. Right now I have this E-MU gear: P2K w/Techno Synth Construction Yard & Beat Garden ROM's by Rob Papen (giving me the standard Proteus and Orbit 3 in one module) XL-1 standard w/Pure Phatt ROM (giving me the XL-1 and Mo'Phatt in one module) Launch Pad midi controller If the 2500 had six slots, I would sell these and put everything in one and gain the sequencer(right now I use a hardware sequencer). Let me know what you decide to do and if there is anything else we can do to help. You can e-mail me privately.

The 2500 is nice but my only gripe is that I wish it had more than
the 3 extra expansion slots.� Right now I have this E-MU gear:
P2K w/Techno Synth Construction Yard & Beat Garden ROM's by Rob Papen
(giving me the standard Proteus and Orbit 3 in one module)
XL-1 standard w/Pure Phatt ROM
(giving me the XL-1 and Mo'Phatt in one module)
Launch Pad midi controller
If the 2500 had six slots, I would sell these and put everything in
one and gain the sequencer(right now I use a hardware sequencer).

jp, Someone else is going to have to take this one. You see, I just have the Midiman Winman 2x2 midi interface that I strictly use for downloading presets only.

I too have have had a lot of trouble with USB MIDI interfaces. When I set up my current computer (Athalon 750) I got a MidiSport 4x4 usb interface. I could not get the audio and the MIDI to sync. I thought is was the soundcard for a long time. After hearing about other folks with the same problem I picked up a parallel port interface and things have been much better. I think the problem is that win98 (and possibly others) dont handle the USB ports in a timing sensitive way. I am under the impression that things are better with later versions of windows, sequencers, drivers and what-not but I am set up for the moment. Heck, it only took me 10 years to upgrade from my last system.
