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

What is the best/easiest way to save data since there isn't a disc 
drive option and I was told that the to host/USB port was not yet 
functional?  Thanks for your time.

Rick

The best and easiest way is to use the included MAC or PC Program called
"E-Loader" that comes standard with a XL or MP-7. This program works via
MIDI. It enables you to do bulk saves or loads of pattern and song
banks. Also, it allows you to load and save individual patterns or songs
into folders on your computer. They are saved as Standard MIDI files.
This enables you to open patterns created on your Xl-7 in a computer
based Sequencer or better yet it also allows you down load SMF's made
with any sequencer into the Xl-7 as Songs or Patterns (up to 32 bars).
We hope to have all of this functionality implemented into the Xl-7 via
USB shortly.

Again, I thank you for your answer.  One more question though.  There 
are now USB powered Zip drives on the market.  Will the Xl-7/MP-7 be 
able to save to one of these zip drives.  This would be nice to have 
in case the MP-7 crashes and the PC is at home while you are in 
another state.

I very much doubt it - zip drives don't have midi interfaces.

Furthermore, a USB zip drive has a "peripheral" USB I/O, and so does 
the XL-7. Neither is host.

if the usb i/o will not be used for a usb zip/storage
device what is its purpose?

I think that it will be used only to allow control by a computer for 
loading/downloading files.  It's a real bummer that no onboard 
storage is available.  I really wanted to get this box but now I'm 
considering the Yamaha RS7000.  I like the Emu's interface better but 
I need some type of onboard file backup other than a laptop.
