Lets say I quickedit and  save a preset.. k-1... And I save it under the user 
presets.. what happens if I quickedit that same preset and want to save it 
again.. Do I have to save it under another instrument or how does that 
work?..

Yes you have to save it as a seprate instrument, otherwise it will 
just write over the old one.  Of course if you wanted to overwrite 
the old one then go ahead and save it to the same location.  Same 
logic as with saving patterns, songs etc...

edit that instrument that i saved the first one over.. hmmm I dont know if 
that made sense.  I know what Im thinking Im just having trouble putting it 
in words. if that makes sense to anyone any help is appreciated..

Once you save over an instrument its gone.  Of course the ROM
banks will always be there so you'll always have the original
factory presets.  But anything in the User section is gone once
you write over it.

as many times as the number of instruments there are in the user bank?

Yeah kind of.  Basically, anytime you use the quick edit knobs to change a 
Preset, you have to save it to a new User Preset location in order to save 
the changes.  You have 4 banks of 128 Presets to do this, that's a lot!!!! 
  Don't worry about over-writing one of the Presets that comes (from the 
factory) in those locations, they are the same as the Presets in the XL-7 
bank.  But, if you write over one of the Presets YOU quick edited and 
stored there , then you're screwed.  That's why it pays to back up your 
Presets to another sequencer via sysex, and to do it often!  Saved my ass 
(err, my sounds really) that way a few times now....
