I had an ER-1 ages ago. As far as I can recall, there is no way turn  
off the note transmission - the MIDI filter in the ER-1 only applies  
to bank/start/stop messages, sysex, and NRPN knob data.

I'm assuming you are in MULTI mode on the XL-7 with Channel 16A  
turned off.

Maybe if you set MIDI IN CHANNELS to "B" it won't route the incoming  
MIDI notes to any of the A channels in the sequencer. That's what I'd  
try at this point. If rechannelize is off and your sequencer tracks  
are all set to 01A through 16A, rerouting the MIDI in to B should  
keep the incoming data from reaching the sequencer. This would  
exclude clock and MIDI start/stop, as I believe these are global  
messages regardless of the channel.

This all assumes you're not controlling the XL with an external  
keyboard. If that's the case, I don't know what to tell you. :-|
