Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

I forgot to add, it's especially furstrating if you turn off the mute 
after deleting a track and then record something new to the track.  The 
track is still muted, so you don't hear what you just played right away if 
the pattern is looping.

 I agree if you delete a track, it should turn of the mute button.

Nice workaround, I forgot about that way.  Wouldn't have worked in my 
situation (already at the gig, with no computer), but it would definitely 
be doable as one of those prep things.  Thanx.

I agree this is frustrating, but there is a work-around for this 
problem.  Using E-Loader, transfer the pattern to a computer and open 
it up in a software sequencer.  Make sure there is no data in the 
track you're trying to delete, and then upload it again to the XL7. 
It shouldn't be this inconvenient, but this method does work.

Tracks that are empty should be muted (dark).

Tracks that contain data but are muted should flicker (currently they don't).

The Track Mute function on the XL-7 is extremely rudimentary compared with the competition. There are no subgroups (like the separate drum mutes on the 505), no mute inverse (505), no way to "hold" the current settings into the next pattern (505), no mute memories except the setting stored with the pattern (RM1x), no exclusion groups to cut other tracks off (MC-80), no "all on" or "all off" functions and most surprisingly no solo mode (all of the above)! Luckily these are all features that should be relatively easy to add - the biggest problem is finding ways to assign new features to the physical interface.

If you load up a pattern into a sequencer with some sort of List edit 
(other than the one built into the XL/MP-7), you'll see that there's a 
bunch of CC info (vloume pan, bank msb, bank lsb, etc) sent at the start 
of every measure for all tracks with data on them.  Cutting tracks to the 
clipboard will remove the note info, but it leaves the other initial CC 
messages, and that's why the track mute remains lit even after you erase 
the notes.  I think even the Erase Events function still leaves some info 
on the track too.  Just FYI...
