Does anyone know if I can copy a 4 step track at step 1.1 and then 
lengthen the pattern and paste into the track at 2.1, 3.1, 4.1, etc...

>>>Make sure your pattern length is set to 1 measure, then use the Extend 
Sequence function to lengthen the pattern. <<<

I'm also curious as to how some of you may be using your xx7 with your 
computers.  I read that some people were dumping the midi files and 
importing those into Cubase.  Is that the best way to take something 
sequenced in the xx7 and edit it in a computer sequencer?

>>>Typically I begin most of my patterns right in the XL-7, and then once 
they're pretty close to finished, I'll E-Load them into the computer and 
Import into SX.  That way I can add groove quantizing, shift notes, do the 
random velocity thing, etc.  It's much quicker for me to do the nitty 
gritty in there, and then Export the MIDI file back into the XL-7 for live 
use.  Is that the best way to use the computer?  Depends, as we all ahve 
our own way of working. <<<
