So the FX are GLOBAL, correct? I assume that
the FX you choose in a patern will be the same for ALL paterns (verb,
chorus) - I suppose this is where Multi's come in.

the FX thing is getting a little wierd. I understand the sends and stuff, but I'm having a hard time locating all the paramiters in the millions of menus.
>;>>Just remember all the FX setting are in the Global Menu, and there's only 4 pages with FX settings (well, 5 if you count the Sends page). <<<
Also, if I mess with a preset sound does it automaticly save that sound?
>;>>Nope, you need to manually save it. Any Preset or Pattern with an asterisk next to it's name has been changed from the saved version and will need to be saved if you want to keep the changes. I can only stress it so much, but developing good save habits is essential, do it often, and do it to multiple locations. Use E-Loader whenever you finish a Pattern or Song, losing your data due to unforeseen circumstances does happen! <<<
or is that where multsets come in? Currently I'm under the assumption that multis are mainly for use if you aren't using the sequencer because doesn't the each pattern save the same basic data??
>>>Multisetups are really just snapshots of all the setting in the XX-7 at any given time. This includes all your FX, Current Presets, MIDI, Global, and Arp options, pretty much everything. There's a ton of uses for Multisetups, here's a few I use them for:
1. To load my live setting quickly. When I play out, I need to have my XL-7 respond to MIDI clock from my Micro Sync, and this way I don't heve to go througha ll my menus setting that up, I can just load a previously saved multisetup.
2. To load up new Program Mode settings for controlling various softsynths. I'll set up the knobs to control say Reason's subtraktork then save that as a nwe multisetup called "Subtraktor" (go figure!). That way if i need to hands on control a different softsynth, I just call up the appropriate multi, such as Pro-52, or Mecury 1. Yeah you've got to set them up initially, but after that it's really quick to be ready to tweak away.
3. Sometimes I'm sequencing a tune in Cubase where I just need a couple Presets form the XL-7, but don't have a Pattern created for them. This way I can acll up all my appropriate Presets on each channel, set their levels and pans, and save the multi to use the next time I work on the song.
