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

Hello all,
      Just wanted to say that I emailed Emagic regarding the 
possibility of an editor for the XX-7 series for SoundDiver.  They 
said they had no current plans to write one.  Major bad news...
       I would be very willing to PAY! for a decent editor for these 
machines (and an EOS sampler editor would be great, too...).  These 
are such incredible machines, but without an editor you are hamstrung 
using them.  Very frustrating.  I would hazard a guess that sales of 
these kinds of instruments would soar simply if a good editor were 
made available.  This is a major oversight in the marketing 
area...       
      Somebody mentioned using the AN200 a while back and I have to 
agree - I've got an AN1x and the editor makes it a joy to work with.  
I do tweak it from the front panel a lot, but for the more complex 
stuff, the editor takes all the pain away.  Wake up E-mu - you NEED 
to do this... You've got the sonic excellence - now you just need to 
work on the user interface.  
      I am pretty disappointed with Emagic, I must say.  To not 
support these machines is criminal.  However, they didn't say they 
wouldn't do one - just that it wasn't on the agenda at this point in 
time... So, maybe they will change their minds and make it a 
priority... Would sure be nice...  Maybe we all need to fire off 
emails to them to help them make the decision ;)  Squeaky wheels and 
all...
