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

Hi,

I've reset my XL7 and lost the factory songs.  I had the songs downloaded from the Emu site a few years ago and used e-loader to put them on but they are not the same and have quite a lot missing from them. The ones in the files section of this site are the same.

Does anyone have an XL7 with the original factory songs which they can back up with e-loader and let me have a copy?

Thanks

Where did you get the original factory songs and patterns? I thought there was just one set for each Command Station. Too bad you didn't make a backup of the ones originally on there. I am wondering if you had some that were not packaged in the download. I think the ones on the factory disk and the ones posted on line are the same--no bonus tracks. I will try to find my original disk and compare the size of the files.

I did a bitwise comparison of the pattern from the file uploaded here and the XL-7/MP-7 Command Station factory disk (E-Mu P/N CD11656). The patterns are 100% identical. I will check the songs.

Also did a bitwise comparison of the songs. They, too, are 100% identical.

Maybe brand new XL-7s had extra patterns and songs loaded on them.  To bad you didn't save them. Maybe someone else got them and saved them.

Just checked and the copies I've got are identical to the ones in the file section, so I think Steve may be right there...

Thank you everybody for your help. I was playing about with sysex and that seem to have changed the songs for some reason. I have reset it and got everything back to normal.  The factory songs aren't that good anyhow and I'm wondering if I should have just left it how it was now.
