Re: Fruity Loops with XL7 (uploading/downloading)

2006-10-19 by malik

cool i didnt know there was a windows version on seq24. prolly not the
answer u want but, there's a docs section on the seq24 page. i'd help
u more with it but i've only just installed it on my linux box a few
days ago. and i'm really just messing with PureData on my linux box atm.

an answer you might like is that Live 5 does send program change in
the clips in session view.
