Hello,

New XL-7 owner alert :) Apologies if this is an FAQ, but I have 
checked the manual cant find any answer to this question.

Is it possible to override the track mutes stored in the patterns 
when recording/playing song mode? 

What I'd like to do is add multiple copies of 16 bar pattern to the 
song in step mode. Enter song record and then 'play' the track mute 
buttons for the song. Currently I can do this, but at the start of 
every pattern the mutes revert to the stored pattern values. 

I have tried the 'Event source' stuff in song mode. I would have 
suspected setting 'mix' event to '1st pattern only' would work, but 
no joy.

Thanks

FT
