RE: [xl7] DOWNLOADING A BANK

2002-05-21 by erik_magrini@Baxter.com

OK, It is possible to SAVE AN ENTIRE BANK selectng the PATTERN BANK,  But 
"Get All sequences" is producing 128 .mid files and not some unique bank 
file.

>>>There is no specific 'bank' file, just create a folder on your hard 
drive for each bank and upload all the associated patterns to that folder. 
 If you use the USB port, this is really quick to do. <<<

BUT  E-MU is profiding some files (xl-1 banks) that are defining some 
PRESETS banks 0-3 AND what I want is simply load one of these files into 
bank number 4-7 and NOT default 0-3.

>>>Hmm, I see your point.  Yeah it does suck that E-Loader doesn't handle 
Presets (yet), and the only option right now is to back up your 0-3 banks 
as Sysex, then load the new sounds into the XL-7. Once in there you can 
(gasp, don't kill me here) copy them one at a time if needed to the new 
Banks, then reload the Sysex for the 0-3 banks you saved earlier.  Sucks I 
know.  Scott, any update on the Preset deal with E-Loader? E5? <<<
