Hello Group
I'm Larry and I own a MP7. I am trying to record into the Mp7 and I'm 
getting 8 traks of my external sequencer on one track on the MP7.
I press record on my MP7 and start the external sequencer which plays 
back the sequence but when I play back the track I recorded on the 
MP7 it does not sound like the preset I intended to record but it 
sounds like all 8 tracks on my sequencer in recorded to one track of 
the MP7. Can anyone help me solve this. Also when I play my external 
sequencer and have the MP7 play back the bass sound. the bass sound 
on the Mp7 sounds an octave lower than what I played it at.
My goal is to playback the external sounds through the MP7 and also 
add additional tracks to orchestrate the song however the MP7 is not 
letting me record the MP7 tracks individually without a toss salad of 
sound. Thanks LL
