Re: [xl7] XL 7 vs MC 909

2004-02-10 by Ravi Ivan Sharma

No, I never bought the mc-909 as it, for me, didn't have the ease of use and live power/flexibility as the mc-505. The xl7 is a better all rounder for live use than the mc-909 in my opinion, but the mc-909 has a sampler which is a major difference. One should really go and demo both units keeping in mind exactly what one wants to achieve. Also there is a yahoogroup for the mc-909 www.yahoogroups.com/group/mc-909

  Whew, that's quite task! (Obviously we prefer the XX-7's too)  Here's some 
  things in short:

  MC909 has 64 voices of polyphony, XX-7 has 128.
  MC909 has a master effect compressor, and IMO better effects overall.
  XX-7 has XMIX, 909 lost the Megamix that the 505 had.
  MC909 has only one expansion slot for additional sounds (I think it's 1), 
  the XX-7 has 3.

  If Ravi reads this, he can probably add more, as I think he still has 
  both...

  Other than the fact that the XL7 can't sample, has anyone compared the
  pros and cons of the XL7 vs MC909? Has anyone worked with these units
  and which do you prefer?
