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

Gonz is right.  The song mode of the XL-7 is a single multichannel track, type 0 only.  The pattern mode is up to 16 multichannel tracks, stored as type 1.  Put another way, the song mode can address 16 channels while the pattern mode could theoretically address 256 channels (16*16, but there's only 64 addressable channels in the box).

The XL-7 will automatically split out the channels from type 0 files onto the 16 tracks available in pattern mode.  In song mode, since there's only one track, it leaves them alone.  Note that if you're sending a single track type 1 file, it won't split it out, because that's not what type 1 files mean.

PS. in general, asking nicely might be a better approach... =)

If you say get a midi file off the net or what ever and its type 0 or 
1 it makes no differance as E-Loader will convert it to type 0 anyway 
when transfering to the XL-xx.
This is the way the XL-xx needs the midi data presented to it to use.
If you use E-Loader to transfer PATTERN data to your PC then it looks 
like it will save it as type 1, so everything thats on a differant 
midi channel will appear in its own track.
There doesent seem to be a setting in E-loader to change the type of 
midi file (0 or 1) when exporting to a PC (SONG or PATTERN)
As mentioned there should be a way of separting out the midi tracks 
in sonar to achive what you want.
I have used cubase in the past to do exactly what your trying to do.
Cubase can separate out the tracks again from a type 0 midifile.
If anything read the sonar manual on how it handles midifiles, there 
should hold your answer ;o)
Hope that helps.
