Also, remember that none of the sequencer tracks target any of the 'B' channels.  If you're trying to sequence more than 16 channels, you'll need to set (at least) one track to be a "Multi" track - near the end of the Pattern screen.  If you're just trying to use different channels (less than 16 unique, even if they're B channels), go to the same routing screen and just pick 1B (or whatever channel(s) you'd like).  Finally, remember that you need to have note data recorded on the track for it to save preset info...

I think it's on the MIDI menu... You have 32 virtual tracks, but you can have only 16 triggers for them.  However, you can "compress" the 16 tracks A or 16 tracks B into a single trigger with the Multi A or Multi B function.

Thanks for all the answers,

I tryed all the solutions, but I did't succed.

Well things get more complicated then
i expected,... this is why i need it for:
I use for live a midi keyboard,
together with XL7,  for lead parts...
The midi key transmit only on first channel.
I was thinking to transmit the midi parts 
on channel 1B and to change the
instrument directly with the patterns.

But, it seems that 1B settings and instrument
does't change with the patterns.

What do you think?????

I am not clear what you are trying to do.

Do you want to use the pads to play live on one channel (C01A for 
example) and at the same time have pre-programed patterns change the 
presets on different channels (C02A --> C16A for example)?

Also, are you performing in pattern mode or song mode? If you are 
using song mode, what is the setting for EVENT SOURCE Preset?

Not sure the answers to these questions will help, but I thought I'd 
ask since none of the other advice has solved the problem.

Hi,
Well I use pre-programed patterns.
Most of the channels are full with drums
and others lines... 
But also i use a external midi keyboard,
which by default can play only channel 1.
So I set to play 1B, and the ideea was
to have for different patterns set different
instruments on 1B. 
I use 1B just for playing live on this external 
midi keyboard. Otherwise I need to change
the instr. and volume on the stage.
Thanks

Ps. In this moment instr. and volume for
1B channel remain the same for all patterns.

2008-11-18 by Aaron Eppolito

Ahh, I see.  You can do one of two things:

1 - turn Rechannelize OFF and set it to use MIDI In B
2 - leave Rechannelize ON and simply put yourself on Channel 01B

What would probably work best for you going forward is to dedicate a track in the sequencer to being your "Live" track.  Store a volume event (so that it will save preset info) and then leave your active track to be that one (with Rechannelize ON).  This way, it will change patches for you (or not if you leave the track empty) and you'll be able to quickly switch to one of the other tracks for recording or other use.
