Re: [xl7] Can anyone explain how to use the triggers?

2007-04-26 by Mauricio Balma

There are three uses for the triggers:
   
   
  1.To mute/unmute the tracks of the sequencer. That`s the main function, when the light indicator of the button is at the left, on the  Track Enable Indicator
   
  2. When the light is on the triggers, you can:
   
  1. Activate desactivate the "tracks" of the beats mode.  When the preset is "bts" category, you can use the 16 triggers to activate the tracks of the beats mode
   
  2. To select patterns.  You can assign 16 patterns to each one of the triggers.  This setup is stored with the multisetup
   
  3. To assign patches of the current pattern you`re playing.   In this way, you can assign a patch to be triggered, on latch mode, or with the arp on, and also select the note you want to use.
   
  You have to program these features, from the controllers section.  You can also change the triggers mode, holding Tap button and presssing track enable (correct me if I`m wrong)
   
  Hope it helps

          Hi, 

Still fairly new to using my MP-7. I had read and re-read my MP-7 
manual but I can't figure out exactly how to activate triggers to 
select which tracks I want to play and which tracks I'd rather start 
later in the song or pattern. Can someone explain how to control 
which tracks play in simple terms, I'd much appreciate it!
