i've only tested it @ tick 001. i haven't tried switching sends mid-loop. 
let us know how it works ;)

====================

i think 71 & 74 are just filter cutoff & res. the MIDI implementation 
chart looks like it might just respond to CC-71, but it's worth 
experimenting with.

also CC-10 -> pan. i'm using all six outputs of the XL7 as mono sends to 
(six) outboard effects. all sounds are panned hard left or hard right in 
the XL7. at some point i might try using CC-10 (maybe with CC-79) to 
switch how a patch is routed mid-loop. a slightly more pedestrian use 
would be to just control pan with it.

of course CC-7 controls channel volume.

one thing i didn't notice before, and now i have to look into... there are 
foot & pedal controllers; i wonder if they can be used to trigger events 
assigned to the non-midi foot-switches. it would be nice to be able to 
increment/decrement the pattern via MIDI, by emulating pedals.
