Is there a way to copy an ENTIRE patern to another patern?  It's not 
something that I can see in any of the menus. 

>>>Yep, seledct the Pattern you want to copy, then press SAVE, and select 
the location you want to copy it to.  Doh! :) <<<
 
Also, If I want to record channels 12a, 14a, and 2b  on track 1 using an 
external keyboard, would I need to record on tracks 12, 14, and 2 and then 
merge?  Or is there an easier way?? 

>>>Yeah,  your best bet would be to just record those channels seperately 
and then copy them all to the same track (set to Multi I believe). <<<
 
I'm also learning the Yamaha A4000 sampler.  WHich is a pretty cool unit. 
I have yet to learn loop manipulation and effects routing.  . . . with in 
time young grasshopper.  Pretty soon my production will be as good as my 
scratching... and then you'll all be runnin scared!!!!

>>>The A4000 is a cool unit, too bad Yamaha couldn't get more people to 
see that too! <<<

Sure, just set the channel to MultiA or B and record away!

dammit erik , always making things look simple. 
 
What if I DON'T want to do it that way?  Is there a way to say I want to 
record EVERYTHING I PLAY RIGHT NOW AT THIS VERY MOMENT into track one?

Just make sure that Track 4 is set to Channel 4, and that it's the active 
track too.  Might help to set Track 5 to Channel 5 as well.  I don't use 
multi-channel record ever, so others may be able to answer you better :)

If you turn on "Rechannelize to track" you should never have to touch 
the basic channel on your keyboard.  The XL-7 automatically reassigns 
channels (as well as outputs) appropriately.  You will need to turn off 
rechannelize to record a multi-track (though not to play one back).

Oh, and by the way, you can use up to 16 channels on a track, but they 
must all be from the same port (MidiA or MidiB), so in your below 
example, 12a & 14a would work (as well as the rest of the A channels) 
but not 2b.

No problem.  Yes, in one of two ways:

First, set track 1 to be "Multi A" (near the end of the Pattern Edit 
menu).  Then:

Method 1. With rechannelize ON (or record), you can just change the 
CHANNEL (not track) on the XL-7 to the channel you want to record.  You 
can even do this without stopping recording.  Tip:  Try using the middle 
4 digit display set to Track/Channel, press the Edit button, and use the 
encoder to change channel quickly.

Method 2:  With rechannelize OFF, use your controller keyboard's 
transmit channel to select channel.  This may or may not be easier, 
depending on you keyboard.

I'd recommend method 1 because it also works for the pads and with 
external gear (i.e. another synth connected to the MIDI Out of the XL-7).
