Followup question: if they're just MIDI files, can I also use ELoader to load the factory patterns from XL-7 or MP-7 without having the XL-7 or MP-7 ROM? This is more out of curiosity, because I actually do have the X-Lead v2 ROM and the MK-6 ROM in my Proteus 2000.
Yes, and if you have the ROMs available, it would be a good idea to put them in PX-7. I think they would Just Work with respective patterns. Otherwise you will get the patterns with all tracks silent (since they would point to non-existing presets), and getting them to sound interesting could probably cost you a lot of time.
Another thing worth remembering: even though Command Stations have 8 banks to save 128 patterns in each, if you feed your PX-7 with XL, MP & PX patterns, it will leave you something like 7% of available storage space left for your own patterns (which is a serious bummer in my opinion).
