Grind recording: notes not changing on LCD when i press keys

2007-03-17 by malik

Hello,

in order to change the notes in grid record you have to exit
from the other menus like Preset, MIDI, etc.

Regards,

    Zsolt

is it an external midi contoller you're trying??


have you tried using the onboard pads to change the note?

and have you tried to change them on all channels?

it could be a crazy midi routing problem?

perhaps check to see if on certain channels the midi is being routed
externally instead of internally?

i guess a way to check that would be to hook up the xl7 to another
synth or computer and just check to see if midi is appearing on the
output when you hit the pads.

i think the routing stuff is a pattern setting?  i can't remember
though.. hopefully someone with a more intamate knowledge of the
machine can pipe up, if not ill have a look at the manual when i get
home...

thats funny i thought i knew that property inside out and kept going 
there but there seems to be a diff from channels and tracks with the 
track/channel buttons. wow......

thanks for the help this should be the answer

Alwyn's right.  If you have a track set to "external" it won't work to
change the key in grid rec (or any of the other menus either, like key
range in the preset).

A temporary workaround is to use a track set to "both" and a silent
preset internally (like 127'3).  This unfortunately has the side effect
of not sending external program changes though.  You could work around
that with a single external "multiA" (or B) track that does all of your
program changes but has no notes.
