Yep, absolutely.  While in Step Mode, you can tweak as many controllers as you 
want each step.  To advance to the next step (without entering a note) simply 
hit the Play button.  The workflow goes like this:

1 - while stopped, hit Rec 3 times to go into Step Mode
2 - verify your step duration to be what you want
3 - set each parameter that you want recorded, (i.e. if at 1.1.000, you wanted 
Fc at 64 and Q at 20, put both those knobs in those positions)
4 - hit Play to go to the next step (note that you can hit play multiple times 
to skip steps and/or use the encoder to go to an explicit bar/beat)
5 - repeat steps 3&4 as desired.

This does not erase any other controller or note data, so you can use it either 
before or after other recording modes.

PS.  if you meant stepping the controllers in *Grid* mode, we wanted to do that. 
 We were going to make it such that if you turned the note field all the way 
counterclockwise (i.e. below A-2) you'd get into cc# and each knob would 
correspond to that controller's value at that step.  Actually, maybe I even 
remember coding that up.  I don't have my XL-7 handy - someone want to make sure 
it doesn't actually have that feature?

Subject: [xl7] CC's step sequencer

  

Is there a way to use the Step Sequencer and assign a CC to a parameter to a 
midi device on the midi 

chain and step in CC modulation changes?  I know how to do this in Real Time 
mode, but not step time mode. 

And that's normally with note on and note off by triggering pads.  

Does anyone know what I am saying?   Step Time modulation to something that 
accepts values of 0-127.
Obviously I will be assigning one of the knobs to the parameter that I want. 

Sorry, my replacement PX-7 won't be here till next week.
