Hi Steve -

Not quite sure if I understand exactly what you are saying - but in
general I recommend getting all your MIDI trax together in the DAW
sequencer including all controller data - and then when they are as
you want them - record them individually straight into the  MP-7.

hope that helps

and good luck

Ed
