More stuff to complain about

More stuff to complain about

2002-01-01 by GALASSIA 303

A couple remarks for further OS updates:

-There should be a bar range to be specified, in the Quantize page in
Pattern Edit.
-The Repeat bar copy function I think you already know about.
-There could be a Midi crescendo function in there, too. (gradual change of
velocity along some bars)
-There should definitely be some choices of auto-rolls and fills. Is any of
the arpeggios apt to that?
-There could be a Quick Save function just double-clicking the Save button,
without accessing the correct preset or pattern page, referred to where you
are in  the menus at the time.
-There should be a resident metronome sound, not one using a Rom sound.
-There should be a rapid track select (for record arming and preset
choosing) straight from the 16 buttons.
-There should be a simpler FX setup. The present one does not work properly
and is THE most confusing menu in the machine.

Also:
-There is a nasty buzz coming from the headphones out at all times. Not from
the main outs, though.
-I know you guys here don't develop soundsets, but is there a reason why
some presets (namely, almost all pianos and many keys in the Composer Rom)
come out in mono?
-The rubber over the pads collects scum and pet hair. And the pads leave a
lot to be desired in terms of dynamics and percussivity. The best ones I've
ever witnessed were those on the ASR-X.
-The dial itself is quite slippery. Rubberize that one, too, if rubberize
you must, or seriously indent it.

Question:
How do you download/upload sequences from E-Loader into the machine? What is
the procedure? There's no mention of it anywhere in the manual nor into the
CD Rom. So I guessed in any possible way but it always failed.

Thanks

The Italian Nut Buster

Re: How do I initialise factory patterns

If you hold the cursor buttons  <  >  on power-up, it puts the unit 
in what they call a diagnostics mode.  Scroll clockwise until you see 
the prompt fror intialization and press enter, then it should prompt 
you to press enter again to rebbot.

Re: [xl7] Re: How do I initialise factory patterns

2002-02-08 by Aaron Eppolito

DO NOT DO THIS AND EXPECT TO HAVE ANY SEQUENCES!

There are TWO init screens, one that DELETES ALL SEQUENCES (including factory
seqs) and one that doesn't.

The factory patterns are eraseable to give you more space for your own
stuff.  The only way to get them back if you've erased them is to download
them off the CD to the XL-7/MP-7/P2500 with E-Loader.

"Init User Data Except Seq" is the item you want to reinit the unit, though
if you've already erased sequences, this will not get them back.  This
restores multisetups, presets, and master settings all to their original
state, leaving the sequences alone.

"Initialize User Data" will delete all sequences in addition to doing
everything that the above command.

All of diagnostics are really only recommended for use when instructed by an
authorized service department.

Where do I get P-2500 patterns?

2002-02-09 by argomax2002

Hi.
The other day I was complaining big time about the MP7, right?
Well, I kinda like it more now that I installed OS 1.18 and got rid 
of the horrific Phatt Rom and replaced with the Composer Rom 
from a P-2000.
Now my question is, can I download the original sequences 
from the P-2500 from somewhere, so that I get some patterns 
back into this machine? The MP-7 one won't really do I guess...
And also, I have another question. P-2500 is marketed as having 
a faster processor and a higher bit output. Can we owners of 
lesser models upgrade to that technology sometime in the future 
or never? And is it going to make a real difference?
Thanks for answering.

Hi Argomax,

P-2500 is marketed as having 
> a faster processor and a higher bit output

EMU marketing is not really clear about this. Somebody from EMU 
confirmed here in this forum, that the XX-7 processors are as fast as 
the proteus 2500 processors. Only the output bit rate seems to be 
higher with the proteus 2500. If latter affects the usability of the 
mentioned boards, sorry, I don´t know.

Re: [xl7] Where do I get P-2500 patterns?

2002-02-11 by erik_magrini@Baxter.com

Why do the tech specs (page 281 of the manual) for the XX-7's list the 
internals at 16bit processing, and the outputs as 18/20bit convsersions? 
Typo?

rEalm



You already have the new processor.  The P2500/XL-7/MP-7's all have the 
same faster processor and 24 bit DACs.

You already have the new processor.  The P2500/XL-7/MP-7's all have the same
faster processor and 24 bit DACs.  The comparison is between the command
series and the 1U modules.

-Aaron

Re: [xl7] Where do I get P-2500 patterns?

2002-02-11 by Aaron Eppolito

Yeah, that's incorrect even for the 1U modules.  The only thing that's
16 bit is the samples.  From the filter chips on, it's 24 bit.  The DACs
on the modules are 18 or 20 bit.  The DACs on the command series are 24
bit.

2002-02-11 by Panzare

Yes, off of the MP-7\XL-7\Proteus 2500 E-Loader CD. You should have recieved on with
the purchase of the MP-7. It has all of the factory presets, songs and I believe patterns
for all three.

Re: Where do I get P-2500 patterns?

2002-02-12 by heinrich22001

I tried to upload patterns from the XL-7 to my MP-7 to see what it 
sounds like, when the sequences are played by the MP-7 soundset. The 
filename was in the display but no sound. I guess, you have to set 
the presets/sounds manually, but since I don´t know which sound was 
used by the XL-7 (except maybe the first four tracks of the drum 
section) its not of use really...

Scott-
the installation and Midi setup is already done; The sequences were prepared
for download, but it fails the operation each time; Does the MP7 have to be
in a special receiving mode, like when you download OS?

argomax,

No, it does not. Mine works fine for that (after I reinstalled the 
microsoft java). Except: Sometimes it started the download, but 
stopped as soon as it started (you should see the filesize on your 
computerscreen being downloaded and a bar that is visualising the 
process, takes some seconds for - say - 10 kb.) I had to restart the 
download and all went well.

Whats happening exactly when you try that?

Make sure to check that the Midi device ID's are the same in Eloader as
they are in the XL7.  I know this is just common MIDI knowledge, but it
gets overlooked from time to time.  Make sure your Midi setup and
interface are allowing MIDI data to come into your XL7.

A FURTHER THING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT

2002-02-14 by GALASSIA 303

I  think somebody already pointed this out here:
why patterns saved right and all don't save the sounds they were using
before I turned the machine off? That's really in need of a workover.
Also, FX again. 
Maybe I'm stupid, maybe I got it in front of my nose and I can't see it, but
can somebody please explain me HOW THE HELL DO I MAKE THOSE FX WORK?
What do those 4 sends in the Global FX menu refer to? What?
If I go to FX page in Preset edit, everything is blank, and tells me Master
FX in Use. Then How do I send?
IN MY OPINION, A PROPER  FX SETUP  SHOULD  WORK IN THIS WAY:
Once you decide in the FX proper menu what is the FX you want, each
sequencer part, or channel, whatever you wanna call it, should have a send
for each effect. Preset sound on track 5, do you want some reverb? Yes sir.
Then turn your FX1 send up. Do you also want some flanger? Yes, just a bit.
Then turn your FX2 send up a bit. You're gonna share the reverb with track
2, 3, and 9, and the flanger with track 2, 8 and 12.
That's all.

I think I've figured out what is happening to those of you who say your
presets aren't being saved.  If the sequencer points to FACTORY presets
(i.e. XL-7, MP-7 or P2500, instead of USER), when you save a preset, the
sequencer is still pointing to the old factory preset that didn't
change.  Moral of the story?  If you want to tweak/edit presets, make
sure you point to them with the sequencer.

The seventh screen in the GLOBAL menu chooses send bus selection per
preset.  The 12th and 15th screen decide how much of each send bus goes
to the FX engine.  All of this data gets saved with the pattern.  You
should study the diagram on page 212 of the manual.  It is your friend.

I understand that you're confused about the FX and disagree with the way
that they are routed, but this will never change in this product.  The
FX routing is governed by hardware.  We cannot download new hardware
into your MP-7.  There is no send LEVEL per channel, only a send
SELECTION.  Sorry, this is just the way it is.

-Aaron

Re: [xl7] A FURTHER THING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT

2002-02-14 by Alex Strudley

OK, bear with me, this is where the XL is kind of confusing.  It boots
up in Master FX mode, this is because it boots in pattern mode and not
preset mode.

If you want to control every presets individual FX, press Mode View
Preset button, then press the Global button, once in there there is a
screen that says FX MULTIMODE CONTRLOL, if it says use master settings
change it to preset on channel 1A.
Then still while in the Global Meno go to the screen that says MIX
OUTPUT.  Make sure it says channel 01A:Use Preset.  This way you can now
go set up FX A and FX B in preset edit and set what FX you want and then
still while in the FX page go to  FXA SEND AMOUNTS and 1 controls the
amount.  For FX B go to FXB SEND AMOUNT and 1 controls the B amount.
If you want to do a Multi FX set up where you have an entire
multitimbral mix bussed out, change things back to master FX and use the
Mix Output screet to send the proper amount of FX to the proper buss.

Remember, there are four FX Busses, that's what 1,2,3, and 4 are, then
you can use MIX OUTPUT in GLOBAL to send whatever channel you want to
whatever buss you want, then you have control over the whole mix.    If
you are using global master FX, like what I was just talking about, you
change the FX parameters under the GLOBAL menu.  If you have preset FX
on, you change it under FX in the preset edit.

Bottom line, you can only have 2 FX going at the same time.  IF you are
in preset FX mode, each preset can use up to 2 FX.  If you are in
multitimbral mode, you can only use 2 FX, but the trick is to take
advantage of the FX Bussing system and bus things out with various
channels having different amounts of FX.  Just incase you are wondering,
there is no way to have it always in preset fx mode and go do a 16
channel multitimbral sequence in the XL7 and have 2 separate FX on each
channel all independent of each other.  That would be cool but would
require way too much processing power.

ABOVE EVERYTHING ELSE, TRY READING THE MANUAL.  E-MU PROBABLY HAS THE
BEST MANUALS IN THE BUSINESS, WELL THATS I HAVE SEEN ANYWAY, FAR BETTER
THAN ANY CLUGEY ROLAND, YAMAHA, OR KORG MANUAL   TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
IT!!!  see page  211 in your XL7 manual.

The unit does not need to be in any special mode while transferring
sequences with E-Loader.

What happens when if fails? Is there an error message reported?

If you choose the Show Available MIDI Devices item in the MIDI menu it
should show your MP-7 in the list. If it doesn't, something is not set up
correctly. Does it show up in your system?

If not, you need to determine if the problem is MIDI In or MIDI Out. You can
use the MIDI Tracker window to show if MIDI is coming In (play any keys on
the MP-7 and you should see activity in the window) and you can verify if
MIDI Out is working by clicking and dragging on the MIDI Tracker grid and it
should play your MP-7. In addition to hearing the MP-7, you should be able
to see the MIDI In and Out LEDs blinking. Those tests will tell if both In
and Out are working correctly.

As someone else pointed out, make sure that the Device ID is set the same on
the unit (found in the MIDI menu) and in the MIDI Device Configuration
window in E-Loader.

Yes. It just says ERROR.

IT DOES.

and Out are working correctly.
I WILL REDO THE TESTS, HOWEVER I THINK THE PROBLEM WAS MIDI OUT TO THE MP
FROM THE E-LOADER.

the unit (found in the MIDI menu) and in the MIDI Device Configuration
window in E-Loader.
OF COURSE.
THANKS

Re: [xl7] A FURTHER THING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT

2002-02-15 by GALASSIA 303

Ok, Aaron, I'll try again to understand them. Erik is giving me hints, but I
really find confusing those 4 sends. If you understand what I'm saying, I
think there should be 16 sends (or 32, if we consider the extra 16 midi
channels). However, will you be in Frankfurt this coming March? I am gonna
be there with Dave Bryce and Craig Anderton from Keyboard & EQ Mag, at the
Marriott.
