-- Check to make sure you are not just scrolling to a new preset on 
the bass TRACK.  You have to be on the Kick track to record kick 
otherwise it will record more bass notes (it's MIDI notes).  
Changing presets doesn't necessarily mean you are changing tracks.

Second problem ... when in step record ... how to I go back a step?  
> I know I can go forward by hitting Play but ...

-- While the XL7 is playing in grid mode you don't have an option to 
select which inbetween bars to loop, XL7 loops entirely from the 
first bar to the last and repeats that cycle.  If you want to edit 
certain inbetween bars/measures, stop the xl7 and select 'bar/beat', 
highlight 'edit' and use the scroll dial to navigate to your desired 
bar/measure.

And lastly ... in realtime record, what is the easiest way to delete 
> or overwrite a bum note when recording in a loop?

-- go into the pattern edit menu and scroll to the note list 
editor.  from there you can choose which track to view your record 
notes...it will probably as you to choose 'enter' to view all 
notes.  from there you can erase volume and/or duration.  you can 
also use the erase events or erase notes if you get crafty.

hope that helps a little.
