32nd note grid record - switch to 2nd half bar

32nd note grid record - switch to 2nd half bar

2004-07-31 by Adam Machanic

I've scoured the manual and tried every possible key and knob
combination I can think of, and I still can't figure out how to get to
the 2nd half of the bar in 32nd note grid record mode... Can anyone
fill me in on how to do this?

Thank you!!!

PS.  fully intending to be tounge-in-cheek.  it's retarded that you
can't skip to the next section.  one of the old manuals actually had
the old step field which could get you to the next set, but we ran out
of screen space or something.

Thanks.  I never would have thought of that, actually.  I'm used to
working on an MPC2000; in that sequencer you can dial up your sequence
to any particular clock tick, from any screen in which that would be
applicable.  I'm shocked that the XL-7 can't do that, but I guess this
is the only place in the UI it's really necessary.

  The other thing I'm really missing is an 'Undo' feature in real-time
record mode.  How could E-Mu have left that out?  It's not too bad
when creating a new track, only takes a few seconds to get to the
Erase Track screen, but when tweaking a pre-existing track the
workflow seems scary if you make a mistake.  Especially if you haven't
saved for a while... I guess the moral of the story is, save after
every change?

I know, we wanted undo, but the way everything is live, undo would've
been pretty hard.  By the way, if you have the 2.0 OS, you don't even
need to go to the erase track screen.  Simply hold the erase button and
press the track button you want to delete.

Yep.  I get in the habit of pressing "save, right cursor, enter, enter,
save" pretty regularly.  Doesn't even require me to look at the screen.
 Then, "revert to saved" works just like a poor-man's undo...

This is exactly the way I work too, get into the habit of saving and 
revert is always your undo.
