Sorry if my post sounded a bit harsh, but I'm just trying to help you out
and this problem of yours is confounding us all! :D

Interesting. So when you're in Grid Mode recording and the you're adjusting
"Gat:" using the knobs, you turn things to 100% but when you hit play
nothing sounds? Do you get the little bars on each of the 16 steps that
you've modified above 0% (in the display)? I just tried this again to see if
I was understanding what you were saying and it worked for me. I've always
thought Grid Mode was pretty cool because of the knob editing feature.

I'm assuming you don't have velocities of 0% in the "Vel:" edit, because
that won't sound any notes.

This may sound like a stupid question, but is the track set to INT in the
channel routing (Pattern Edit 2nd to last screen)? If it is set to EXT or
NONE, there won't be any sound from the internal synth.

If you can get sound from the internal pads on the track, but not from Grid
Mode with steps that are clearly showing beats on them, you may have a bad
OS (although I've never seen that before on 4 Command Stations that I've
owned). Another question, is the MP7 running the latest OS 2.0? If it's
earlier, maybe that's part of the issue.

Curiouser and curiouser...
