Re: [xl7] XL-7 import/export sequences bugs

2001-10-02 by Sean Wilhelmsen

I'm using Digital Performer. I've had great luck loading Standard MIDI
Files into the Xl-7 created from Performer.  You are saving them as Type
1 Standard MIDI files from Logic? Anybody else out there using logic?
What have been your experiences downloading SMF's?
