- Press the MIDI button
- Scroll to "RECHANNELIZE INPUT To Track Destination"
- Change to "Always"

This will allow you to play whatever instrument is assigned to the 
track in the display using your controller.  You can also record 
notes onto that track, then switch to a different one - this will 
let you play/record a different instrument while your recorded track 
plays.

If you want to actually play both your MIDI keyboard and the XL7 
pads at the *same time* with a different instrument on each, set 
RECHANNELIZE INPUT to OFF.  Then, the pads on the XL7 will play 
whatever is in the display. You can then change the MIDI channel on 
your MIDI keyboard to play instruments on other tracks.  (The Track 
# is *normally* the same as the MIDI Channel # - Setting your 
controller to Channel 6 will play whatever instrument is assigned to 
Track 6)
