Re: Recording multichannel arps from triggers

2004-08-10 by joepm.rm

T1 Trigger, Ch 01A
T2 Trigger, Ch 02A
T3 Trigger, Ch 03A
all are set to seq

with rechannelise always, i only get one arp (the one in the display) 
over all three triggers.

with on record, the arps sound right until i try and record them, 
after which i think (not at XL7 at moment) i get the one arp playing 
sporadically (sounds as if it gets cut off as the other triggers are 
played)
