Recording
Each of XL-7‘s 16 tracks can contain multichannel MIDI data. Because
tracks can be routed internally or externally on either of the two MIDI
ports, the XL-7 sequencer can actually control up to 64 separate MIDI
channels (16 internal-A, 16 internal-B, 16 MIDI port-A, 16 MIDI port-B).
Once a track is enabled for multichannel recording you can record into it
using the rubber keypads or external MIDI data.
