When your beats are playing wrong, it is playing from a default multi
that loads at Poweron, since it fires up in pattern mode.  The XL7 is
acting correctly.  I sometimes use the box the same way. You are doing
everything correctly. Just save your multisetup and when you power up
your computer and your XL7 everytime you start sequencing, load that
multisetup you have saved.  I find it works easiest if whatever sequence
I am working on on my computer using the XL-7, I always save that
multisetup as multisetup 00 and I always call it new song or something
like that. Easy way to keep track of things.  Then you just have to load
that up when you are powering everything on and you are ready to go!
