HEY guys, well i got a midi keybaord and im kinda gettin a bit lost, 
theres no mention about assigning channels in the manual for the
keybaord, but i was hoping you lot could help me, i need 2 set ups,
one so that what ever is track is on tyhe display on the xl7 it plays
when i use keyboard and 2 i would like the midi keyboard to be drums
or anything and the xl7 to be like a bass or bells or something, in
other words play 2 different tracks using the xl7 and the keybaord, iv
tried folling the xl7 manual but like i said, i dont get it :<
