1. Had an idea for a new OS feature after spending many, many hours in 
List Edit mode this past week.  It would be cool if the XX-7's had a way 
to create CC curves/ramps.  You would first specify the CC number for the 
curve to be drawn, the pattern location and initial CC amount that the 
ramp would start at.  Then you would specify the ending pattern location 
and final CC value for the ramp end.  The number of events would be 
determined based on the record quantize setting.  Example:

You want to create a volume curve on a track that goes from 10 to 85 over 
8 measures.  So you would use the track select buttons to set the basic 
channel to the track you want the controller curve on (#5).  Then in 
Pattern edit, you would go to the Curve screen and set the CC value to #7, 
and the location the ramp should start at (say 001.01.000).  You could 
then specify that you want to the curve to start with a value of 10. Press 
Enter to get to the next screen, which is where you set the ramp ending 
point (ummm...008.04.383), and the ending value of 85.  With the record 
quantize set to 16th notes, you would now get a nice volume curve that 
goes from 10 to 85 in 16th note intervals.  This would save a lot of time.

2. And sort of along the same lines, it should be possible to quantize 
previously recorded CC values, and not just notes.  Thin Events kinda does 
this, but not in a controlled fashion.  BTW, the Thin Events example in 
the manual is terrible, the value they use of three and the example can be 
interpretted many ways...
