Re: Track Destination and MIDI on off. Controlling external gear.

2004-03-04 by drewaight

It is entirely possible that i am a retard.......but i dont 
understand your answer.

The tracks and the channels are separate no? which is why the unit 
kicks so much ass. However if the sequence of events is MIDI --> 
rechannelize --> MIDI channel --> track --> output. How is it 
possible that a MIDI channel assigned to only one track that 
has "ext" as its destination can get to the internal sounds. 
Rechannelize hijacks whatever the input is and forces it to be the 
channel that is currently selected so how does turning this off make 
it so that incoming MIDI messages can force assigned tracks to 
output on the internal sounds. 

Seriously I do not like rechannelize...i leave it off at all times. 
The rechannelize feature belongs on a Casio and not a serious 
gigging instrument. I dont need any sequencer to hold my hand and 
make sure im in the right channel when i play. Can we set up a poll 
and see who leaves rechannelize on and who disables it? 

Thanks so much for humoring me. As always im sure there is something 
about the XX-7 that im not understanding and will probably feel 
stoopid when it is pointed out to me.
