Hi,

This "you can record 16 x 2 midichannels per track"-feature of the XX-
7 gives food for thoughts:

Some of you remember the Rm1x (whatever;-))

Couldn´t you set up the patterns the same way like with the yammie?
That means for example:
You load on track 1 of the XX-7 a file with - say - 8 different kick 
sequences, each of them adressing a different midichannel, track 2 
with 8 different snare patterns, track 3 with hihats etc.. You could 
go on up tp track 8 (the other 8 tracks left for bass, synths, etc.)
If there was a quick way to mute and unmute the midichannels on each 
track, you could mix new grooves like from a construction set - as 
long as unmuted channels do not interfere with unmuted channels on 
the other tracks.

Has anybody tried this? I just  found an option to set the volume to 
zero or is there a mute funcion somewhere.

Or is the whole concept crap? Just was an idea... what do you think?
