Re: [xl7] Re: Emu's drum rom vs Stylus?

Sure a lot of sounds are nice to have, but I'm finding that syncing the 
XL-7 to a laptop running loops in Ableton's live to be really useful. 

>>>This is combo is really powerful, don't forget you can use the XL-7 as 
a controller for Live too.  I was playing around with this when I was 
deciding to go with either a laptop or sampler for live use.  If you take 
the time to set it up, you can play an entire Live set without once 
looking at the laptop screen.  Very powerful combo. ,<<

No matter how good you program your sequencer, because it's a ROM based 
device you're not going to get that... SOUND.  You know.  Of a real 
drummer. 

>>>Gotta disagree.  True that I could care less about my own songs 
sounding like a real drummer, but with some careful sequencing, it can 
definitely be done.  As long as you know how a drummer plays, it's not 
impossible to mimic this via sequencer.  Quite a few magazine articles on 
how to do this, I believe Computer Music has some tutorials on their site 
for just this in fact. <<<
