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

Hello ; I think somebody here who's working with Cubase already
mentionned the problem but I'm not sure... :
When everything in your midi file is all set , comping and soloing
(for example)on different  channels (let's say on channels 
10 and 11 )and you want to load it onthe tracks that you want in the
Xl7 ('cause you  want to leave the tracks 1 to 8 free for the rhythm
parts  as in the factory patterns ..) your midi file always end up on
the first tracks (in the Xl7)even if it is on the midi channels you
assigned (10 and 11)how to make it go on the bottom tracks
 (9 to 16) ?, because one gets use to the factory patterns where a
given track controls the midi channel of the same number ( manual page
22!)

Export as Type 0 MIDI file from with in Cubase, should fix your problem.

BTW, if you import a MIDI file into Cubase, it'll do this for you 
automatically each time.  Just FYI for those using (or thinking about 
using) Cubase.

The alternative is to insert "dummy" tracks in Cubase (or whatever seq 
you're using) to force Cubase to push the tracks to their original 
location.  For example, if you only wanted track 3, 6 and 7, you'd have to 
insert dummy tracks on 1,2, 4 and 5.  I don't know why most sequencers 
don't do this automatically, but since there's no notion of track number 
in standard midi files, you have to insert blank tracks to offset to 
higher track numbers.

That'll work if you don't have any multitracks and each track is
assigned to its respective midi channel (i.e. track 13-> channel 13).
