Re: [xl7] Features in the new OS?

2001-11-30 by Aaron Eppolito

If you set the track to external, it will not save new info for that track at
tick 0.  This includes program change, vol, pan, mix, arp, etc...  However,
it will not erase existing messages (which would be there if you saved it
once when it was not external only).

Two things you can do:

1.  If you really don't want the XL-7 to transmit setup stuff, set the track
to external.  If you've already saved it as both, you can set the track to
external, then erase the offending messages from the track (using the ERASE
EVENTS screen).  Then, save it, and it won't send info on those tracks
anymore.

2.  (Recommended)  Set the track to external.  Go into the list editor and
insert the commands to setup your external synth at tick 1.  This way, your
external synth will always stay in sync with the current pattern.
