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

We checked the sound output from the P2500 module through the AUDITION 
button  and it was playing fine without any problem.  After connecting the 
Keyboard XP60  to the P2500 module (XP60  MIDI OUT  -  P2500 MIDI IN), and 
while playing the  keyboard there is no sound output from the P2500 
module. But we can get sound output from the P2500 itself  by presssing 
the  audiotion button  only .

>>>Can you see the MIDI in indicator lighting up on the P2500 when you 
press a key on the XP60?  It should be at the top of the module's front 
panel on the right side. <<<

Why is it that we can get the sound output from  P2500 while pressing the 
audition  button., and not from the keyboard xp60     ( MIDI out of xp60 
keyboard  going to midi in to P2500 module).

>>>Some more things to check:

- Are they both set to the same MIDI channel?
- Is there a Preset selected on the that channel? The default Preset will 
not sound, so you need to make sure one of the factory Presets is 
selected.
- Is it possibly a bad midi cable? <<<

Thinking that the o.s. might be the problem.We tried to upgrade the P2500 
o.s. ver from 1.31  to  1.32 and  2.0,but no luck we could not upgrade the 
P2500 module. We have selected the download request o.s ver 2.0 and also 
target device selection midi in 1  and midi out 1 ,inspite of this  under 
status : it still showing  :  waiting for download request ,No file 
selected ,no target selected. Why is it so ,are we missing something 
,please let us know 

>>>Wow, that's a strange one!  It sounds like you're doing everything 
correctly, my only guess is that somehow E-Loader did not install itself 
properly?  I'm sure you're frsutrated by this, but maybe try re-installing 
E-Loader 1.1 again?  I can't think of what else could be casuing this, 
unless the Midi interface is having troubles and not seeing the P2500 in 
OS receive mode.  Do you have the latest drivers installed for the MTP?<<<

Your help is needed urgently. Waiting for your reply ASAP

Dear Sir,

Thanks for your mail

Yes  when I press a key on the xp-60 ,I can see the  MIDI in INDICATOR 
lighting up  (RED in colour) on the P2500 module.

Yes ,both are set to same  MIDI  Channel 1. Selected the factory presets.
I  have checked the midi cables and they are working with other midi 
devices .

Also I re-installed  the software E-loader 1.1,also the MTP AV USB is 
installed with the latest drivers.

I tried  upgrading the o.s (2.0) from  E-loader 1.1 ,selected the 
downloadable o.s. file 2.0 ,seected the midi device  INPUT   AND OUTPUT 
PORT,but  still the problem  on the download section  :Download  OS File 
to Target  is not highlighted.

It looks like the o.s. has been corrupted ,or has the midi controller 
gone bad.we are not sure.

(Recently I have upgraded (using o.s. loader 1.0)  the PROTEUS 2000  to 
o.s. ver 2.26, with this same setup,but I could not upgrade the P2500 
module using E-loader 1.1).


Also can we upgrade  the P2500 module using another  P2500 module.
For eg.  Transferring O.S from one  P2500 module  to  another P2500 
module using midi cables ,without using e-loader and the computer.
Pls let us know if this possible.

Again your help is needed .

Waiting for your reply ASAP

Thanks and Best Regards
for  S.U.N. Media Ventures Pvt Ltd.

>>>Ok, well that rules out the obvious ones then :) <<<

It looks like the o.s. has been corrupted ,or has the midi controller gone 
bad.we are not sure.

>>>Yeah, I saw that emu has the new OS on their site now, so you could try 
downloading it from there again.  Additionally, I'll attach the exact same 
OS file I used to update my XL_7 to this email, so you try that one too:



(Recently I have upgraded (using o.s. loader 1.0)  the PROTEUS 2000  to 
o.s. ver 2.26, with this same setup,but I could not upgrade the P2500 
module using E-loader 1.1).

>>>This leads me to believe that it's either an issue with the OS file 
being corrupted, or something is unfortunately wrong with the P2500 and it 
may need to be sent in for servicing. <<<

Also can we upgrade  the P2500 module using another  P2500 module. For eg. 
 Transferring O.S from one  P2500 module  to  another P2500  module using 
midi cables ,without using e-loader and the computer. Pls let us know if 
this possible.

>>>Hmmm, I'm at work right now and don't have the XL-7 in front of me to 
check this, but I don't think it's possible.  If it is, it would be an 
option in the Diagnostics section, which you can access by turning on the 
P2500 while holding both of the cursor buttons.  MIght want to check in 
there and see if you see that option.  Unless Aaron or Sean pops in and 
tells us otherwise. <<<

Again your help is needed.

>>>Trying the best I can! <<<
