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

2004-03-20 by frodo76at

Yes. The B channels are set to both, but I don't want to use recorded 
patterns to go through the MIDI Out Port B. I would like to go 
through the XL-7 to play external instruments live.
I also found out that rechannelize doesn't help me with that, since 
there is no MIDI output either on MIDI Port B, when setting "MIDI In 
to Output B" and selecting a MIDI B channel in the Sound-Preset 
window. Seems like there is no way to get MIDI In B signals out of 
the XL-7 (live). :(
In the meantime I tried a different setup.
I use the XL-7 rubber pads (mostly) for external instruments on other 
MIDI equipment and the external keyboard for the internal XL-7 sounds.
Sadly I cannot use more than an octave for the external sounds, but I 
think I won't need them that much, since I'm about to use the full 
capacity of the XL-7 rom-space an therefore would be able to have 
most of the instruments in my cool, freaky, funky, orange XL-7 baby =)
