probably the best approach is to insert the pan and volume commands at the
beginning of a pattern.  And the easiest way to do this is to place the
information on one track which is set up to be a multichannel track (MultiA
or MultiB) which of course is set to either external or both.

Enter step-record.  Change the panel so that the sixteen knobs control
volume and adjust each in turn to the desired value.  Do the same with pan.
The XX7 will record the last value of each control as a 01:01:000 event,
which will be sent at the start of the pattern but never once the pattern
repeats.

If you go into the EDIT PATTERN mode you can look at find these control
changes in the EVENT screen at position 01:01:000.  One thing though, unless
you have the track destination set to EXT or BOTH you will never see events
at the beginning because the XX7 hides these "administrative" details when a
track is only set for INT.  But the events are indeed there and will do
their job.
