Re: New owner ... pattern record and cubase ... bug???

2002-02-10 by grimleyj2000

Tommy,
Thanks for the reply ... appreciated ... however ...

Problem 1:
I am actually changing tracks by using the Track/Channel buttons to 
the left of the green LCD.  Again, when I reset the XL-7 everything 
works as expected again.

Problem 2:
I am referring to Step Record mode and not Grid mode.

Problem 3:
Got it ... cheers!

Justin.
