Hello, I just bought a Roland XP80 on E-bay and I need some help with sequencer. I used to own an XP50 and I don’t remember this problem. I’m hoping it’s something in the setup or perhaps I’m doing something out of sequence.

I can’t seem to figure out how to record a sound (instrument) on an isolated track. I tried to record drum track from the “rythym” mode but then when I switch to patch to find next sound for the next track, the drum track no lo longer plays. When I go back to “rythym” it plays, but the drum kit sound is now changed. It appears that my patch/rythym sounds are not staying on a particular track number. Also, do I have to record drums/percussion on track 10?

Lastly, whenever I try and switch to a new track, the patch/sound of the latest recorded track overwrites and plays on previously recorded tracks. Somehow, I am not doing something correct in assigning the patch/rythym sound to the track number. Perhaps I am not “saving” the sound once I have recorded a particular track. Or maybe there’s something wrong with the seq. on this unit. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
 
arcaxis, thanks. You made my day. I actually went up on Roland's site, but I didn't see these pages. The trick was accessing the sounds through the "Performance" mode and selecting the track/part from within the same area.
I wrote a cool song already!
