Re: XL7 auto-triggered intense chaotic voice chatter

2006-08-04 by gongworks

Thanks Aaron I will check into thises procedures and email you offlist
if I can do a MIDI dump, or post here if not. One of the things that I
did discover is that it is only 1 chnnel t a time- whicever one is
slected int he TR.CHANNEL up.Down buttons - that is the one that will
go berserk. For ex. w/Ch1 selected, MIDO Ch 1 disabled. Local control
ON- the knobs can still be used and no chtter is happening.

sqeaked thru gig last lite using a launchpad with XL7 Local Control OFF.

more soon and thanks again!
