Re: Switching from the XL-1 to the XL-7

2003-01-28 by multiproximus <binker@iname.com>

Because the XL-7 uses the same Extreme Lead ROM as the XL-1, your 
songs should move over quite easily because E-Mu assigns specific 
bank numbers to each of their ROMs. BUT, you might run into problems 
if you've made custom voice presets, because AFAIK, e-Loader can't 
move them over. So what you'll have to do is use voice Sysex dumps 
from the XL-1 to the XL-7. I *think* I am correct about this, but 
someone please set the record straight if I have made an error. (I'm 
kinda new to the XL-7 myself)

Good luck with the switch!
