Meter changes

2002-10-07 by bass17yl

Hello All!

Sorry if this issue has been covered.  I did a search and couldn't 
find anything on it, so I hope I'm not rehashing an old subject.

How do you (or is it even possible to) sequence a meter change 
on the XX-7?  I've got a song that's mostly in 4/4 time, but the 
choruses are in 7/8.  While in pattern mode, the 7/8 pattern plays 
back just fine.  But when I sequence it into a song, the song's 4/4 
setting seems to be overriding the pattern's 7/8, thus adding a 
half-beat at the end of the pattern before switching back to the 
4/4 verse pattern.  I love my XL-7, but if it can't do something that 
Cakewalk 4.0 for DOS could do 10 years ago . . . 

Any suggestions?

Clay

p.s.  I just got it and haven't upgraded the OS from 1.01.  If this is 
a feature that was added in a later OS, please let me know.  I 
plan on upgrading the OS within the next few days.  Thanks!
