3 Crashes in 2 Hours...

3 Crashes in 2 Hours...

2002-12-04 by tj297

i'm not gonna get excited and all pissed since i just bought this 
thing a few hours ago and do not yet know what makes it tick, or 
not tick for that matter. my brand new(2 hours out of the box) has 
frozen/crashed/whatever 3 times since i've opened it. i'm not 
doing anything crazy, mostly just playing with the presets and 
getting my aound the sequencer. any idea what could be 
causing the lock ups. it just freezes and i'm forced to power it off 
with the main power switch on the back. is that the wrong way to 
do it? i'm on OS 1.31. please don't tell me i've got a lemon. 
thanks for any help,

ok, i've got the files but how am i supposed to get them into the 
machine? my only MIDI connection to my computer is through 
the USB port on my midiman keystation, which only has a single 
USB port and 2 MIDI OUTS. eLoader doesn't work for Macs yet 
so i'm screwed on that. is there any way for me to do it?

E-loader doesn't work on macs?? For OS loading? Are you sure? I think it does. Load eloader, plug the command station via the midi jacks, not the usb, and follow the eloader instructions.

Re: 3 Crashes in 2 Hours...

2002-12-04 by tj297

i'm sorry. i meant to say eLoader doesn't work via USB on Macs 
yet and that unfortunately is my only way into my computer. i don't 
have a standard MIDI interface. i use  midiman keystation 49 
USB which only has a USB port and 2 MIDI OUTS. so i don't have 
anything with a genuine MIDI input going into my computer. is 
there any way for me to send the update from Logic? maybe i 
could go out of Logic via USB into the keyboard and then out of 
that into the MP-7. possible? i'm not sure if the USB port carries 
MIDI 2 ways but i'm pretty sure it does. it sounds like a fishy way 
of doing it though. maybe i'll bring it to work where we have PCs 
and do it there. bummer. thanks for the help.

[xl7] OS Download

2002-12-04 by Aaron Eppolito

OS Download only works over MIDI on both PCs and Macs.  You'll need
both in and out from your computer as the download is handshaked
(handshook?).  E-Loader is the only application that will perform and
OS Download (or the older predecessor, OSDownloader).

If you simply can't find a computer with MIDI, try contacting your
local store, and/or E-mu directly for other options.
