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

The rm1x was my first Instrument/groovebox.... real cool.. but it\ufffds soundz
very digital... and the drums suckz... (that why I bought my XBase09)... if
you want to sell him for da XL-7.... DO IT!!!.. I have also sold my
RM1x..... the sounz wasn\ufffdt as good.. and the easy of use factor was really
:-( .... XL-7 is real great..... for sampling you can use your korg s ...
well the only thing I could say.. sell the RM1x.. in the german magazine
KEYS is a test ( now availble in da stores..)
