Re: [xl7] trying to make the XL control my external gear

2004-01-15 by erik_magrini@Baxter.com

The external devices will stop and start from the controls on the XL7, but 
they only play the internal patterns (with their limited sequencing 
abilities) not the midi information the XL should be feeding them with. 

>>>So when you press play on the XL-7, the ER-1 etc will start their own 
internal sequencers, but they won't use the midi note data that the XL-7 
is sending, right?  What about if you set the ER-1 etc to not use ext 
sync?  Will that work? With the Korg series, that's the only way I can 
think of to get them to not start their own sequencers...<<<

One last thing to note, whenever I save the pattern, it messes with the 
preset that is called up on the EA1 and ER1 (not the DX200). I know that 
the pattern will hold that information, but I don't know how much room I 
need to leave at the beginning of any track so I can input this 
information ? is one tick enough? Won't this mess up the 
timing of the sequence? 

>>>Well, without testing it, this is all speculation, but I think it WOULD 
affect the timing of your sequence, but only for brief moment the very 
first time that pattern plays.  It won't happen everytime the pattern 
loops, as long as you put the sysex on the first tick, or tick 0.  I think 
that 1 tick will be fine too (in terms of length).<<<
