Capture midi pattern out notes back into Command Station

2012-05-15 by intrepidpete

So I have a midi chain with sequencer and a bunch of gear, and some of the gear does arps/patterns/beats. I can send chords down the midi chain, and capture arp/pattern/beat notes back into my sequencer.

When my Command Station gets delivered this evening, this will be my first unit with real-time recording sequencer and arp/pattern/beat capability within the same unit. So can I do this all right from within the XL7? So you would record song chords on track/channel 1, then have arp/pattern/beats triggered from those chords go out on a different track/channel, then have the sequencer immediately record those notes to a different track.

Can't wait to find out if it can do that. It sure would be a nice way to lay down a song, first come up with the chords, then experiment with lots of different arps/patterns/beats and when you find things you like, record them right into other tracks within the same song/sequence.
