Re: [xl7] New owner ... pattern record and cubase ... bug???
2002-02-11 by erik_magrini@Baxter.com
I am having problems when I have the XL-7 synced to Cubase and I want to jump into grid record mode (hold play then hit record). �The XL-7 will only allow me to record with the preset from the track I originally had selected. �So for instance I start with track 9 for bass and I then change to track 1 for kick, it will only record more bass notes even though the pads are playing the kick when I hit them.
>>>This can be very confusing on the XL-7, as the track select buttons to the left of the LCD select differnt things depending on which screen/mode you're in. �First of all, realize that any track, can be any MIDI channel, they're not fixed assignments. �While extremely flexible, this can also be very confusing too, especially if start moving around while recording! �Here's a quick breakdown:
While in Pattern mode, those buttons do change the track as you mentioned. �However, if you press Preset to select a new Preset, they now control the MIDI Channel, not the track number. �So while you may been on track 9 originally, pressing the track select buttons while looking at the preset name means you're just changing the channel used on THAT track (#9). �Your best bet is to make sure you leave Preset mode, select the correct track, then go back into Preset mode to scroll through your sounds. �Also, if you're doing GRID recording, pay close attention to what channel is shown in the display when you enter this mode, as it defaults to the last channel you recorded on, NOT the current track! �Read my FAQ in the files section of this group for more info on this relationship. <<<
Second problem ... when in step record ... how to I go back a step? �I know I can go forward by hitting Play but ...
>>>Nope, you can't do it. �Step-time record is pretty rudimentary currently, you can't tie notes either :( <<<
And lastly ... in realtime record, what is the easiest way to delete or overwrite a bum note when recording in a loop?
>>>I believe you hold down that note while pressing ERASE as the pattern plays. <<<
Thanks for your help
