Re: [xl7] Is this what I'm looking for????

2003-10-14 by erik_magrini@Baxter.com

All I'm after is a RELIABLE sequencer which will allow me to change 
patterns, mute tracks and assign knobs to different parameters (internal 
and external) for live funky techno.

>>>The XX-7's will definitely do this, and do it very well.  XMIX is a new 
feature in OS2.0 and will chaneg teh way you play live, it's that good. 
Download the manual for more info on this feature, or look in the FAQ. <<<

Does the MP/XL cut the mustard???

>>>No, but it will fork the ketchup. Are there workarounds for these?  <<<

What are its quirks. 

>>>>Hmmm, a quirk pretty much depends on the user, but here's a few that 
might hold you off:
- No track solo, but easy enough to do with the Mutes.
- Can't preview quantize or transpose settings in real-time, but almost 
everything else can be done in real-time.
- Patterns can only be 32 measures long, but song mode goes to 999 
measures. <<<

Will it stand up to live work?

>>>This is a set I did with the XL-7, 100% love.  You tell me if it holds 
up:

I read in 'Sound on sound' that the knobs and assignable buttons are 
generic rather than pattern specific. Is this a problem? Also does 
the software it comes with work on Mac OSX.2.x???

Info very much appreciated,
Cheers y'all.
