XL-7 / MP-7 Operation Manual Addendum
Song & Pattern
Event Source
A new “song & pattern” option has been added to the Song “Event Source”
screen. The song track is much more flexible because of this feature, since
both song and pattern events can be used on playback. (For example, you
might want to use the song track for volume mixing.) This option allows
presets to be correctly selected when using channels 1B-16B for song
events.
Song / Pattern Edit
Lockout
You must now be in the Song mode to enter the Song Edit menu. Likewise,
you must be in Pattern mode to enter the Pattern Edit menu. Formerly you
could edit songs while in pattern mode and vice-versa which could
sometimes be confusing.
•
If the Song Edit or Pattern Edit buttons doesn’t work, change the Mode
using the buttons underneath the LCD.
MIDI Control
Commands
MIDI Song Position Pointer, Start, Continue, Stop commands are now
received by XL-7 and MP-7.
•
Start, Continue & Stop
commands are always received.
•
Song Position Pointer
commands are received only when synced to
MIDI clock.
•
Stop
- Stops from any transport state.
•
Start/Continue
- Only starts from the “stopped” transport state, and not
from any “pause-record” modes.
MIDI Panic Button
•
Pressing the MIDI and Home/Enter buttons simultaneously sends a
MIDI “All Notes Off” and “All Sound Off” for all 32 MIDI channels. This
immediately kills all sounding notes internally and over MIDI.
New Song Mode
Realtime Record
Screen
When you press Record once in Song mode, the following screen appears:
This screen is very similar to the pattern mode realtime record screen. You
set the Quantization and Count-In for the Song Track just like for a Pattern
track. See page 57 in the operation manual. You can now also turn the
Metronome on or off in Song mode.
