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

Hey,

  Sorry to hear that Realm decided to leave his PX7 home when 
gigging.  I am in the same boat - How would I recreate 
complicated sequences reliably live?  For me a laptop is not the 
answer.  Don't get me wrong, Ableton is bad ass and I have 
used it to 'organize' some of my best songs, BUT I wouldn't show 
up at a gig w/ it.  

  It is all a matter of what you do.  I can program beats, but in 
reality I am a musician and I like to perform.  I use my glorified 
launch pad of an MP7 as an old skool sound module and 
perform the pads for main parts  live .  That works for me and 
gives people the opportunity to see me perform something.

  Back to the original question... How would I recreate shit live?  
I've started beat matching my own stuff w/ the Numark CDX to my 
mpc + mp7.  Midi synced Eye candy w/ chick appeal   ;)

  Emu samplers are so cheap on ebay.  Why spend $200 for the 
world rom when you can get a sampler - load your own sounds 
AND have z-plane filters?  That's just me.

  Emu.  I love my Emu stuff, just sad they got bought out by 
soundblaster.  ;(  The end is near.

blah blah blah...
