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

Hi,
 I would like to have a little sysex program on midiox
to retrieve user presets bank0-3. I have read the
sysex xx-7 specification book but it isnt so clear for
me. For example how do u request from ur computer (on
midiox) the xx7 to send you hem the preset 114 2 u ?
and the whole bank ? Could someone give me a hand ?

Thanks

I have just tested the "Get Sysex Manually" feature of MidiOx. That 
seems to work fine--all you have to do is start the data dump from 
the E-mu. I am curious: Why do you want to figure out how to get 
MidiOx to initiate the dump request instead of doing it by hand?

I just read the MidiOx help section on sending sysex and it would 
seem to take a lot of effort to create a file to have selectable 
sysex commands to request each and every preset and each preset bank.

If you really want to do that, I'd be willing to explain the basics 
of E-Mu sysex so you can send commands from MidiOx to request the 
preset dumps. (Or you can spend $20.00 or $55.00 to get software 
that will also allow you to edit preset parameters.)

OK. Here ya go.  (from November 2002: 
http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/xl7/message/5180)

F0 18 0F dd 55 11 04 xx xx yy yy F7
dd == device ID
xx xx == preset number
yy yy == ROM ID (00 00 for user)

Here's what I did to test it:

1. Put the following in MidiOx's command window (sysex):

F0 18 0F 00 55 11 04 00 00 00 00 F7

2. Select Command Window | Send/Receive Sysex.

When I put in 3 sysex commands, I got 3 sets of presets:

F0 18 0F 00 55 11 04 00 00 00 00 F7
F0 18 0F 00 55 11 04 01 00 00 00 F7
F0 18 0F 00 55 11 04 02 00 00 00 F7

When I highlighted just one of the commands, it seems MidiOx only 
requested that particular preset.

Again, you can create a file that has all the commands for all the 
presets and higlight them one by one to get individual presets, but 
unless there is a compeling reason for NOT initializing the dumps 
manually (from the E-Mu itself), I'd recommend doing it from the E-
Mu.

Hope this helps.

Lol, I backup all banks each time I make a song. And it  takes some 
times for me so instead of stand up from my bed each time to tell 
him take bank 0, 1 till 3. I would like to give him all instruction 
and take time to smoke some lucky strike. Just that. :$

Okkk, i thought that it would be easy to take each whole bank.

Hi know, but i prefer let people betatest the software and then make 
my choice.

Thanks Steeve,
Xavier
