XL Edit Reasoning?

2001-12-07 by erik_magrini@Baxter.com

Quick question.  I was working on the XL-7 last night and everytime I went 
to edit the track I was working on, I noticed something.  The parameters 
in the Edit Pattern menus don't always default to the current track you're 
working on.  A fact I noticed only after losing some valuable sequencer 
data that I had overwritten, oops!  So, what's the reasoning for how the 
XL/MP's assign which track is active wheny ou press Pattern Edit?  Is it 
the last track you worked on?  The last track active when you saved the 
pattern?  I couldn't see a pattern (no pun intended) in how it was dloing 
this.

I found it funny that you effectively be accidentally editing 3 different 
tracks depending on whether you were in Pattern mode, Preset Edit mode, or 
Pattern Edit mode!  Isn't there someway to tie these all together so that 
whatever track is the current one in Pattern mode, is also the one that is 
active in Preset Edit, and Pattern Edit modes too?
