Wow, you almost confused me.

There's two ways to do what you're asking; it depends on what you want.

Method 1: (recommended)
Use this if you want your external keyboard to play the appropriate
sound for the track you're working on.

Rechannelize ON, Merge MIDI A:OFF B:OFF, MIDI In Channels A, and...
for each track, setup its destination in the 2nd to last screen in the
pattern edit menu (i.e. should it play internally, externally, or
both).

Now, as you switch tracks on the XL-7, notes played from your kybd (or
pads) will always play the same sound as they will when you record that
track and play it back.

Method 2:
Use this if you want your external synth to always sound in response to
notes played on the keyboard, regardless of what track you're on.

Rechannelize OFF, Merge MIDI A:OFF B:ON (hook ext synth up to B), MIDI
In channels A.

Note however, that with method 2, notes from your external kybd will
ALWAYS play both the internal A synth channels as well as play your
external synth.  This is probably not what you want, but maybe it is.
