Re: [xl7] Can the XL-7 do this?

0. XL-7 Users Patterns are 512, right?

1. Can I construct all the patterns I want and in a seamless way
change among them to build a seamless 2 hrs set live?

Yes.

2. How many of this patterns can I create?

512?

3. This thing has a SCSI port, does the XL-7 works like loading songs
or styles and stuff, so I can Hook up a SCSI drive an load a whole
new setup with 512 different User patterns?

Nope.  No SCSI port. USB port, for plugging into a USB >host< i.e. a pc.

4. Can the XL-7 transmit SysEX to the gear hooked up to the MIDI outs?

I >suppose< you could put sysex (i.e. patches) in a track on an un-used
pattern, and send it that way, but I wouldn't know if this would work or be
effective. CCs, PCs, NRPNs and other performance stuff you can. However,
you'll need to generate them elsewhere, until the OS is updated to do so. I
think they said mid-November.

5. Can I sync gear on MIDI out 1 with MIDI Clock and the gear on MIDI
2 with MTC?

Does the Xl-7 generate MTC? Anyone?... Anyone?...

6. Can I order it in a different color? :)

The MP-7 is definitely cooler looking.
