Re: [xl7] Re: Track muting

If you load up a pattern into a sequencer with some sort of List edit 
(other than the one built into the XL/MP-7), you'll see that there's a 
bunch of CC info (vloume pan, bank msb, bank lsb, etc) sent at the start 
of every measure for all tracks with data on them.  Cutting tracks to the 
clipboard will remove the note info, but it leaves the other initial CC 
messages, and that's why the track mute remains lit even after you erase 
the notes.  I think even the Erase Events function still leaves some info 
on the track too.  Just FYI...

Tracks that are empty should be muted (dark).

Tracks that contain data but are muted should flicker (currently they 
don't).

The Track Mute function on the XL-7 is extremely rudimentary compared with 
the competition. There are no subgroups (like the separate drum mutes on 
the 505), no mute inverse (505), no way to "hold" the current settings 
into the next pattern (505), no mute memories except the setting stored 
with the pattern (RM1x), no exclusion groups to cut other tracks off 
(MC-80), no "all on" or "all off" functions and most surprisingly no solo 
mode (all of the above)! Luckily these are all features that should be 
relatively easy to add - the biggest problem is finding ways to assign new 
features to the physical interface.
