emusonacid!

I am trying to interface an EMU e5000 Ultra and EMU mp7 Command Station.. this far with no luck whatsoever. I am able to trigger the sampler with command stations pads but the sequencer won't trigger it. I have checked and rechecked the correct midi settings in both the sampler and sequencer.. I am at a loss here.. anyone out there with a command station? Any help greatly appreciated. Also, is it possible that one of my machines is a dud? My sampler was bought second hand but was practically new - film still on the screen etc, and command station also works ok otherwise, just updated to OS2.0

Check the diagrams in the rear of the Command Station manual to make sure you have all the "switches" set properly. It can get complicated. Everything's probably working.

Jesus wept.. I thought it being a "command station" the Midi implementation would be simpler! All I want is just to get my sampler to play with command station!

I am offering 13 EMU Libraries (ISO) to anyone who helps me out here.. seriously.

Oh don't be a baby, it's not that hard. Looking at the MIDI routing diagram, it looks like you have to turn MIDI Rechannelize Off, then set MIDI In Channels to A (for channels 1-16). Both of these options are in the MIDI menu.

Whoops, should have read your post a little better. Sorry about that.

Go to page 115 of the XL-7 manual (rev F) Connection Examples. It's all right there. Good luck

Doh! Found "channel assign" in the manual.. thanks for pointing out the direction! This machine is deceiving - at first seems simple, then gets more and more complex..

Thanks guys! This should have been in the "noob" section really.. :D


Let me know if you want me to send you those ISO's, as a thank you!

PS - so glad the forum is working again, whoever is managing this - keep up the good work and a huge thanks.
