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

Hi,

I have been wanting to load sequences into the XL7.

I can via e-loader. 
However, every sequence loads in okay Track 1 button lights-up and the sequence is there, but the preset is found on C10? Why does it do this? Why does it not show as C1. Are there some settings I'm overlooking? I can go the copy paste way, but it's really cumbersome. I just want it to match-up.

Also, I purchased Abelton to be a Midi editor, however I can only export one sequence at a time. What software do people use to edit the 16 part sequence/pattern?

Thanks for any help in advance!
cheers

Make sure the program change for the clip you're exporting out of Live is set to none (it's a drop down menu in the bottom panel where you set the loop/envelope stuff).

I found when using Live it's easier to just record the MIDI in to the xx-7.

I have an old version of cubase that i got free w/a soundcard, that works better, you don't have to do 1 track at a time. 

I'd be interested in a simple dedicated MIDI editor that works well for this purpose as well . . .

Assuming you are loading them in as patterns, go into pattern edit mode and find the CHANNEL ASSIGN menu. T01 in the upper left refers to Track 1. The second line is your destination. You can choose MultiA, MultiB, C01A --> C16A, and C01B --> C16B. With MultiA and MultiB, each track can have data routed to more than one channel.

If you use the event viewer, you can see what channel the original data is on.

Sorry if this is a bare bones explanation, but I hope it is enough to point you in the right direction with your first question. 

The Command Station has built-in editing capabilities. Some people seem to like it; others seem to prefer editing on a sequencer. Most of what I used to do when I was creating patterns on my P2500 was recording, overdubbing, and tweaking in the box itself. I have some old tunes created in Cakewalk Software that one of these days I might retool in Sonar and export to the P2500.

BTW, in case its not obvious, each track can have data on upto 16 channels. That's where MultiA and MultiB come in handy.

I know a while back Aaron said something about the Command Stations handling of MIDI ports exported from software and loaded into the E-mu sequencer via e-loader. Don't quote me, but I think it was that since Cakewalk was the only software sequencer that used MIDI ports, it is not implemented in the Command Station. (This is from memory, so I may not have it right.)

Hope this helps.
