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

Hi Guys, I have a MP7 that when I record a patter and save it the presets  
are all wrong. The presets are even off on the patterns that came with the unit. 
 It's either the presets I save teh pattern with don't load when the pattern 
is  selected, or the key in which they were played is different. I even loaded 
the  sequences back to the mp7 (I saved the patterns when the unit was  
working fine, via midi to my PC) and that doesn't work. Does anyone know how I  can 
reset the MP7 back to factory settings. Obviously something is screwed up  
and I don't know where to begin. I also tried making a few short patterns, and  
after saving them, reboorint the unit and playing back, the key in which they  
were played were off.
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Power up the unit while holding the cursor keys (<  >)down to put the 
unit in a diagnostics mode.  Scroll with the dial until you get to 
reinitialize data and press enter.  There is another option to do the 
sequence data as well but you might not want to do that.  You can 
upload the patterns again with E-loader once the presets are put back 
to factory specifications.

Although... the factory patterns use the ROM presets, not the user presets,
so unless for some reason the ROM presets are scrambled, resetting the unit
won't do much of anything...

The only way the ROM could be scrambled is for some reason he does 
not have the MROM(factory for the MP)and has the PHATT ROM(from the 
module)in there.  The preset listing was broken down differently for 
those two.  We don't know if the unit was purchased new or second 
hand so it's hard to tell.

Hi Guys, I have the rom that came with the unit. I should add that I sent  
the unit off to get repaired cause the scroll was screwed up, along wiht some  
other issues, and this is how it came back. 
Before I box it up and send it back I would like to try a few things. Not  
sure why starting from scratch ala factory resetting it seems like a good  
starting point, but what the hell if I end up sending it back to be repaired at  
least I wouyld have given it that old college try.

Keep us posted.  The knob problem that you referred to was the 
encoder problem that was experienced on alot of the modules.  I was 
able to get a new encoder board for my P2K and I just bent the bi-
metal on the XL to make better encoder contact(transmit) with the 
circuit board (receiver)since that one was not soldered on my unit.

Will do

I'd like to thank everyone for their help and support. I got my MP7 back to  
normal after initializing it. Of course with my luck I selected the option to  
initialize the entire unit, and not the one that left the sequences intact. I 
 restored the sequences from EMU's website and my own which were backed up on 
my  PC. All is well in the land of "Beat Making" once again. Once again I 
thank you  all tremendously. 
 
And forthe record, this piece rocks!! makes me want to go buy roms now,  
lol...
 
Now, (lol) Is there a way to delete patterns in one fail swoop, other  than 
having to erase the events then rename the pattern back to Empty  Sequence?

Yep.  Copy an empty sequence over the top of it.

Save menu, 2nd screen.
