Does the MIDISport show up in other applications, like a sequencer program? The devices shown in the E-Loader device lists are whatever the OS publishes as available MIDI devices and are not controlled by E-Loader per. se. If the MIDISport drivers were written correctly, it should show up in the E-Loader device lists. I have a MIDISport that I use with my Mac and OMS and it works fine with E-Loader. I haven't yet tried it with my PC since I use the MIDI connection of my sound card, but I can try it. Then again, I use Win2K and not Win98. I have access to a Win98 machine, so I can try it (if no one else can respond to this) > also, if and when i get it to work, is it possible and/or worth it to > replace the user presets with the xl-7 presets, so i can have both, > or are they basically the same? The presets, or the sequences? The presets from an XL-7 will <obviously?> not work in an MP-7 without the MP-7 sound card installed - they are entirely different than the MP-7 presets. The sequences from XL-7 will technically 'work' with and MP-7, but of course all the program changes will need to be re-mapped to MP-7 presets. I.e. the sequences will play, but you will hear no sounds without pointing the tracks to available presets. > by the way, when the usb connection on the command station works, it > will be a new os right? It will require at least 1.17 software, which is now available at the E-mu website. But you will need drivers for your PC, which have not been released yet. Those will be coming 'real soon now'. Scott
