A few questions:

Have you guys installed the E-Loader program?

Do you have a midi card or sound card on you conputer with a midi 
interface?

If the answer to those is yes, then head over to the files section 
and check the E-Loader Quick start PDF and also get the 2.0.dli file 
from E-MU's site.

Answer those and we'll see what's the next step...............

What  you need to do Carlos is to hit the home/enter button on the 
unit at power up.  This puts the unit into an OS receiving mode.

I have E-loader, the file to upgrade (command200.dli),
the USB conection and a Motu Midi Express XT 
interface conected with the MP7.

The point is that the OS option menu in E-Loader has 3
step to upgrade:

1)Open the file to upgrade: OK
2)Choose the Midi port and ID: OK
3)Start Dowloading: THIS FALLS ! The option is not
available, I mean the window to click and start
dowloading is not available !

Tks in advance again !

Take a look at the Command Station FAQ in the file section here. realm
did a great job with it.

Also make sure the midi cables are in the correct in/out. I made the
mistake of having them the wrong way and the download option in
eloader was greyed out. Good luck and help this helps.

I have been tring to get this damn eloader to work all day today...  
I have downloaded eloader 1.1 and downloaded xl7 version 2.0 OS.  I 
got the midi connection correct because I got patch data downloaded 
onto my computer so I know, MIDI hookup is right.  

What happened is that I had both versions 1.0 and 1.1 of the elaoder 
on the computer at the same time and it was not working.  I took both 
of them off and started over again by installing eloader 1.1 on the 
computer.  This helped and got me a little farther to the point that 
I had "select Downloadable OS file" and "Select MIDI Device" 
and "Download OS file to target" all in black, I got the XL7 in ready 
to recieve OS by pressing "power" and "enter" and gettting the 
message - "searching for OS".  So I am ready to rock!  And then, "It 
says, you have chosen to update an EMU XL7, are you sure you want to 
download the new OS to this device?"

I then press Download and this is what I get:
  A big red hand and the message "Download FAILED"

This is really frustraing.  I read the readme notes and it talked 
about the USB drivers and to double check to make sure that the 
drivers for the xl7 was installed.  I checked and I couldnt see them 
listed in the Device Manager.  But, I watched the drivers getting 
loaded and saw Windows identify and get the drivers for it.

I have spent all day today trying to make it work....

I know how frustrating it can be. Ive had plenty days like that
myself. Im not sure about that error message but did you say you also
have the USB hooked up? Just curious if that could have something to
do with it as Ive read that currently eloader doesnt support using USB
to update the OS. In the FAQ in the file section it says this

"In order to use the USB port, you need to have the latest version of
E-Loader installed on your PC computer (currently there is no USB
driver available for Mac computers). Also, keep in mind that you
CANNOT use the USB ports to update the OS currently, only Patterns and
Songs can be stored and transferred via the USB port."


Beyond this I am limited as Im still new. I wish you the best and hope
you get it working.

If you've packed it in for the day (that is, if you've given up 
trying to install OS2.0), don't give up completely--work on it 
another day.  It'll be worth it.

The following may or may not apply, but since it happened when I 
upgraded to OS2.0, I'll share it.  With Win98SE, I had an incomplete 
installation of the USB drivers.  So I tried it again.  It seemed to 
take, but I had unpredictable results until I completely uninstalled 
the E-Mu USB drivers and started from scratch, triple checking 
each step of the installation along the way--line by line.

If for some reason you had an incomplete installation and then ran 
the installation program again, that may be part of the problem.

Hope this helps.

Dr. Steve

One more thing, I read on this message board soemwhere that the Sysex 
Device ID is 010.  But the info in the readme file says (default=0)

I tried both "0" and "010" and neither work...

you know what, your right!
thanks

Well Boys and Girls,

We can put this topic to rest.  Today I called EMU and they told me 
since I had version 1.0, I had to install a preparation program in my 
XL7 BEFORE I install version 2.0.  This program "preps" the machine 
to go to version 2.0.  Weird.  Anyways, the file is 
called "commandprep10.dli" and you install it just like an operating 
system on eloader.  If you are looking for this file, you can't get 
it.  They had to email it to me and its not on the EMU website.  I 
will try to upload to this message board's files.

Anyways, I tried to download it into the XL7 and for some reason 
the "Prep" program couldnt download.  So I called EMU again and 
determined that is was my MIDI connection.  They also recommended 
that I get 2 new high quality MIDI cables.  The thin ones won't do 
(like the free guitar center cables)  ALSO, EMU said not to have the 
USB hooked up AT ALL.  And they was right.  Both the "Prep" Program 
and the XL7 OS V2.0 got corrupted somehow since I had the USB 
connected.  Thru ALOT of troubleshooting on my own, I found this 
out.  So, leave the USB connection OFF.  I then reloaded the prep 
program, and it worked!  Finally, I downloaded the OS to the XL7 and 
was successful.  

One last thing, I was using the MIDIMAN MIDISPORT 4X4 USB MIDI 
interface and found out that "A" MIDI IN port worked but MIDI OUT 
didn't.  Also, both "B" MIDI IN/OUt port and "C" MIDI: IN/OUT port 
didnt function at all.  The last "D" IN/OUT port worked perfectly for 
this.  It is important that both MIDI IN and OUT works perfectly in 
whatever MIDI interface you have.

My next call?  To MAudio to check out why my MIDISPORT does'nt 
completely work.  

Wow, what a weekend!

tcdave


PS - in regards to the Device ID, EMU said it has nothing to do with 
downloading the OS.  The OS is downloaded ONLY thru MIDI.

Glad you got that ironed out. The info and file will come in handy for
those with version 1.0 or anyone running into a snag while trying to
update. I would like to thank realm for his FAQ. That is where I read
about eloader not supporting USB for updating the OS which I mentioned
in a previous reply to you. Hope the OS update takes care of the
issues you were having.
