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

first thanx to erik magrini for your help.. but the problem was in my xl-7..
but now all works fine...

when I now arrange loops via cubase SX how can I import them into my xl-7.
sure via E-Loader but what do I have look for when I save my Midi file? does
the e-loader also transfer controller setting such as cutoff and release?

would be great if somebody could give me an easily introduction :-)
thanx and greetz from europe

P.S.: How did the contest end?

After you have everything in SX the way you want it, just go to File -> 
Export -> MIDI File.  Then select Type 1, and choose a desitination. After 
that, load it into your XX-7 via E-Loader.  I find that things work the 
best if I start my initial pattern in the XX-7 though, and then import it 
into SX to work on further (you may have to reorder the tracks though, no 
biggy).  That way I'm sure all the program change messages, and effects 
settings are correct.  Oh, and E-loader will definitely transfer all the 
controller info too, no worries there!

How is this done? I've transferred some patterns from my mp7 to my 
pc, but I can't open them in cubase. What's the correct procedure?

And what do you mean by reordering the tracks?

In both SX and VST, you need to go to the File menu, then select import 
and choose MIDI file.  Then go to where you saved the midi file from the 
XX-7 (via E-Loader, I may have forgotten to list that step last time, 
sorry), and select it.  I think in VST you can even drag it from the 
desktop onto your arrange page too, though this hasn't been implemented in 
SX yet.

As for reordering, sometimes after the midi file is imported, Cubase will 
order the tracks the wrong way, ie Track/Channel 1 is somwhere in the 
middle, Track/Channel 2 is at the bottom, etc.  Not neccesary to reorder 
them, I just personally find it easier to put the tracks in the same order 
they were in the XX-7.  Also, say you have an 8 bar pattern you're 
importing, sometimes Cubase will add an extra half measure or so to random 
tracks (and it's not note length causing it).  You might want to resize 
the part by grabbing it's right handle and dragging it to fit.  Again, not 
neccesary, but it keeps things clean.

If I'm being unclear on any of this, let me know and I'll try and clarify 
further.
