Re: [xl7] Re: Proper procedure for saving patterns?!?!?!?

2003-01-18 by drK

Just to clarify what Aaron was saying, each *track* that you wish to have a
preset assigned will require MIDI data in that track in order for the preset
setting to also be saved (there is really a reason for this, it really is a
feature!).

For example, lets say you want presets saved on synth channels 01A, 07A, and
02B.  You will need to have those each assigned as the destinations for a
track, and the corresponding track must also have data.  While it is normal
to have the relationship where track1->01A, track2->02A and so on it is not
required and that is sometimes the source of confusion.

Not sure if this is what is causing your problem but I thought I'd mention
it just in case.
