idea for a new / better rechannelize etc.

2002-01-25 by nifflas

Please, I just want to know if you're planning to add this feature 
soon?

When I select Out A or Out B, i do NOT wish the keypads to also play 
the internal sounds as well. I mean, if I would like the XL-7 to do 
that I would of course select "Both" instead of "Out"

The same with the midi keyboard connected to the XL-7.

If this feature is not planned, I will probably sell the XL-7 and 
buying something else. (I'm very dissapointed to tell the truth)
