If the menus (with their cursed cursorness and all) are shitting you remember the bank of 16 buttons double as shortcuts for the main menu so at least that take the jog wheel out of the equation to some degree. enjoy!

Subject: [xl7] New User Having a Blast

I've been getting to know my XL-7 and I am having a blast. It is my first hardware sequencer. I really like how it is set up for instant gratification. I've been able to create some really satisfying patterns without having to dive into effect or creating sounds. I can't wait to, but it's been nice being able to learn one feature at a time and still have something I enjoy playing around with.

I read the manual cover to cover, yeah right!! It is deeeep, I have read enough to get well started. I appreciate the very in-depth manual, but that makes it tough to find solutions to specific problems.

How can I double or half the tempo of a track or entire pattern? I recorded 4 bars and want to squeeze it into two.

The one thing that bugs me a bit is the need to use the cursor so much. With multi-setups, can I setup a creative workstation where each knob in the 4x4 grid represents something different in the display? I'm hoping if the knob is tweaked the value changes for a specific parameter (track number, track length, measure, ect.) without having to move the underscore with the cursor buttons.

Thanks
Bob
