RE: [xl7] Using triggers

Either that, or you could record a miniscule amount of useless controller
data one each channel, such as turning a knob just a hair....being sure that
the knob dosnt really effect the sound is the hard part. I personally just
have one pattern that has note data on it from all of my external synths (b
channels, of course), and when I want to make a fresh start, I just save
that pattern to a new slot, and erase all track data. Then it retains all of
the track assignments until restarted, or recorded on, in which it stays put
then. What Realm suggests may work better, I haven't tried it, I'm still
peeved about the entire situation all together, considering I bought the xl7
solely for sequenceing external gear.

  I did the same thing you're suggesting, and use the B-channels to set up
my own user arp Presets to use with the Triggers.  Once you assign your
Presets to the correct B-channels, just save the multiset up.  That way you
only have to load themultisetup once when you first power on (or not,
assuming you haven't loaded any new multi's).  Because the Presets will
remain until you change them, this should work.

  I've been looking to put some of the MIDI B channels to work as
  locations for presets that I just activate via the trigger buttons
  with latch enabled, but I've run into a problem.  It seems that with
  the current XX-7 software, a preset on a channel will only change
  with a pattern when there is some note data for it on one of the 16
  tracks.  So here's my problem:  I want to be able to use a different
  preset with my first 4 B channels so I can but pads and sfx and stuff
  on them and just latch them on and forget about them, not having to
  take up a track or one of the A channels.  I have track 16 setup to
  control my sampler on channel 16B, so I tried putting some notes down
  on all B channels 1 - 4 (track 16 is MultiB).  This works as far as
  pattern switching goes, but I can still hear the notes play, even at
  1 velocity and zero length.  How can I change my B channel presets
  along with my patterns without having to put down note data?  Is
  there another way around this?  Along the same lines, how do most
  people on the forum take advantage of the MIDI B channels?

  Thanks in advance.
