Setting "Midi> Receive Program Change section to off" simply disables program changes (i.e. picking a preset).  It does not mute a track.

You should restore the factory multisetup (#63) and then avoid touching receive program change...  ; )

Subject: [xl7] Frozen midi settings

  


Hey Everyone,
My midi settings have frozen. I was recording individual tracks (kick drum) of a song several days ago and set all midi tracks in the Midi> Receive Program Change section to off (except for track 1 which was what I was recording)  to mute all unwanted tracks. I've done this many times. However today when I powered up I find that the midi settings won't change. As I scroll through the songs, they change just fine but only play patt #1. The display says they are now "on" but they still do not sound. I've always found the midi on the xl-7 to be pretty unstable anyway.
This similar problem has happened to me once before a couple of years ago. I'm writiing to make sure what I'm about to do is not suicide. And you guys have always been a wealth of useful info.
If I recall, that time I powered up into the diagnostics section then chose setting 
#17 init data except seq
Am I correct in remembering that this will not harm or erase any of my patterns or songs info, just the basic settings of the unit. (which is the xl-7 version 2.0) and specifically the midi.
It seems pretty obvious but better safe than sorry. I haven't backed up recently and would loose a good bit of very detailed work.
Also if there's any other suggestions (what else I might do, ways's to stabilize the midi functions ect) I'd love to hear them
Thanks
