Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

I have been using the mp-7 with just a 16 mb of rom and I have sequenced 
several drum tracks and I have owned several sequencer and beat boxes and I 
too have been buildin a studio, but now that I have the mp-7 My entire setup 
will be sequenced by the mp7 even my software based sampler. I have never 
used the lcd screen on the mp-7 for sequencing instead I do almost 
everything in real time and sometimes I use the tr style 16 beat sequencer 
buttons for hip hop tracks. But if its song sequencing your concerened about 
thats another thing menu navigation on this thing is in my opinion not bad 
at all but it is one the only hard things there is to be coming acustomed to 
until you cane be subconciously doing what your conciously trying to do. but 
lets not forget the features of this machine are geared towards that of a 
sequencer first and then a synth so I think you should be somewhat happy by 
what the fine folks at emu have done for us.
