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

Welcome to XL-7 Aaron,
    Here is a cut of my reply to the other board for redundancy's 
sake,
           61

There is one pair of main outs L&R and and 2 pair of sub outs. If 
you will be using the sequencer I would go with the **-7 series if 
you are not go with the module, most midi controllers will give you 
the knobs and slider the knobs on the **7 units work the same as 
external midi controlers just set the midi channel. The mophatt rom 
is not available individually as many of the other roms, but the 
pure phatt is. Same instruments different presets.
