Screen size and sequencer

2003-09-06 by _5ht

Hi,

I have been slowly building a studio for a while. Right now, I am 
realizing that I have some pieces that I don't use, and I would like 
to sell those and buy a nice all-in-one box. I have a very good pro 
sampler that I will be keeping so I do not need the box to sample.

I was at the store the other day and tested out the PX-7. I was VERY 
impressed by its sounds, and the amount of instant control one has 
over them. The pads also felt very nice. I liked it a lot. BUT, I am 
concerned with the screen size. Right now, I use a RM1x strictly as 
sequencer, and that has a nice size screen that allows you to see 
many parameters at once.

Anyway. I'd like to hear from folks out there that use the Command 
station, and have also used something else like the RM1x or RS7 
maybe. I'd like to hear your opinion on whether the small screen on 
the Emu limits you, and whether you like the Emu's sequencer and its 
power, ease of use, etc. I may still keep the RM1x as sequencer for 
a couple of thers boxes, but I do not want to buy the PX-7 unless I 
know its sequencer will match its sounds, and that the screen will 
not be a pain. Thank you in advance.
