I 2 have a similar problem when using the XX7 as a "slave" while
recording in realtime for some reason the preset information switches
on me or something else changes during the recording and it messes
everything up ... I assume it is the CC sysex information from the
other device triggering something on the xx 7 CC sysex - how do we
turn this off (make it just stay as is) during recording ?





I have a problem and if I can't fix it my xl7 will be worthless
to
me so please help.
My brother and I are in the same band he is on a 'Electribe ER-
1'
and I'm on the 'xl7'. My
brother is the drummer and the 'Electribe ER-1' is the master so
he
controls the tempo(BPM).
My xl7 is the slave. so far so good. He controls start/stop and
sets the tempo.
My problem is that when I want to record something in realtime,
the
midi data from the
'Electribe ER-1' is recorded too. The er-1 is on channel 16. I'm
not using channel 16.
Rechannelize input is set to off. Enable midi for channel 16 is
set
to off. But still it is
recording the mididata from the 'Electribe ER-1'.

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. :-|
