        Subject:        [xl7] I'm pulling my HAIR over here!!! :(


ok...here's the problem 

i have a keyboard hooked up to the xl-7 (midi in and out....keyboard 
channel set to 01 (track 1)) 

*note* from here on.. when i say "keyboard" i am referring to my midi 
controller, not the pads

now when i want to record sequences, (using the internal sound of the 
xl-7) track 1 records fine 


...here's where the problem comes in...

ok, when i go to track 2 on the xl-7 to change sounds, then switch 
back to pattern to record, the keyboard (midi controller) still plays 
the sound from track 1...

for example, 
1) i record bass to track 1
2) i select track 2, preset, i choose an instrument (drums)
3) i go back to "pattern" to record
4) my keyboard is still playing "bass" (TR-1) instead of playing 
drums (TR-2)

and this is the case for all 16 tracks....only the sound from track 1 
is played when i play my keyboard

in order for the keyboard to play the sound of the track that i want 
to record to, i have to constantly change the channel on my keyboard 
(from the initial ch-01 to 02, 03, etc to coincide with the track on 
the xl7) which is very annoying and time consuming especially when 
creative juices are flowing)

is there a better way (PLEASE tell me there's a better way)

is it possible for the xl7 to change the channel on my keyboard to 
coincide when i change tracks on the xl7? is there another solution?

i hope everyone understands what my problem/question is 

p.s. sorry for the long message, i just wanted to be as clear as 
possible :)
