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

It is quite nice and silver too! I llike the stock soundset. I 
bought it used and maxxed just after the MP-7. The idea at the time 
was to use it to crossfade betwen patterns, but now x-mix has taken 
care of that. I had problems with the sequencer on it for a while 
and being used there was really no recourse in the situation and it 
was used as primarily as a soundmodule. Since updating to 2.0 it has 
run flawlessly and I am currently working on a composition using the 
2500 as the primary sequencer. I am currently not attempting to 
sequence on all 32 channels so I am not using my setup anywhere near 
its capacity, but I am working on it:) I noticed on musicians friend 
it is ~$200 more than the px-7. I don't understand this unless you 
are rackmounting and space is of a premium. Paying more for no keys 
seems unusual although the 2500 does have a knob hold in p[lace of 
the touch strip hold, I believe.
