Re: [xl7] tracks

2002-02-26 by Aaron Eppolito

That'll work if you don't have any multitracks and each track is
assigned to its respective midi channel (i.e. track 13-> channel 13).

The alternative is to insert "dummy" tracks in Cubase (or whatever seq
you're using) to force Cubase to push the tracks to their original
location.  For example, if you only wanted track 3, 6 and 7, you'd have
to insert dummy tracks on 1,2, 4 and 5.  I don't know why most
sequencers don't do this automatically, but since there's no notion of
track number in standard midi files, you have to insert blank tracks to
offset to higher track numbers.
