No problem.  Yes, in one of two ways:

First, set track 1 to be "Multi A" (near the end of the Pattern Edit 
menu).  Then:

Method 1. With rechannelize ON (or record), you can just change the 
CHANNEL (not track) on the XL-7 to the channel you want to record.  You 
can even do this without stopping recording.  Tip:  Try using the middle 
4 digit display set to Track/Channel, press the Edit button, and use the 
encoder to change channel quickly.

Method 2:  With rechannelize OFF, use your controller keyboard's 
transmit channel to select channel.  This may or may not be easier, 
depending on you keyboard.

I'd recommend method 1 because it also works for the pads and with 
external gear (i.e. another synth connected to the MIDI Out of the XL-7).
