The sequencer doesn't currently record sysex.

If you send a sysex preset dump from an A2K into an XL-7 you are 
actually dumping a new preset into the XL-7 itself, since an A2K preset 
is essentially an XL-7 preset - it uses the same sysex message format 
(albeit missing some of the newer XL-7 params and assigning a different 
Sound ROM ID).

If you really want to put an A2K sysex message into an XL-7 sequence you 
can do that by copying and pasting the A2K sysex into a .mid file and 
then transferring that over to the XL-7 using E-Loader.
