E-Loader and Pattern Edit Questions

2001-10-29 by erik_magrini@Baxter.com

Is it possible to use E-Loader to save a single pattern as a SMF? If so, it would make it possible to load it into Cubase/Logic/Sonar, without worrying about timing issues. �I don't have that manual here at work, so I can't look it up.

Since you can't copy measures within a pattern ( :( �), how is everyone on this list getting around that huge limitation? �Can someone from Emu comment on whether this MIGHT be addressed in future OS update? �I love the XL-7, but lack of more detailed pattern editing is going to make it impractical for me to use outside of the studio, which is why I initially purchased it. �I only get to purchase a new piece of gear once every couple of years due to the high cost, so I need to make sure the XL-7 will be able to meet my needs before my 30 day return policy is up.

Anyone? �Feel free to email me privately if you don't wish to address the whole list. �But please, this is really important to me! �I can't afford to get gear that's going to sit in my studio unused...

We hear you...  I'm working on it today (now that I'm finishing up the
list editor).

Just to make you drool,

PS.  Yes.  Just grab the file with Eloader, edit it and squirt it back
to a different XL-7 location, just to make sure Logic didn't do anything
wierd with the file.
