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

Max,

Thankyou very much for the comparisons, I may just keep my M1 afterall.
Besides, I've
got a Boss BR-8 for recording, so I'm not so limited by the MP-7's
sequencer. I also
have an Alesis QS7.1, which isn't a bad keyboard either, for the price.
As far as the OS for the MP-7, well, I agree, getting the E-Loader to work
can be
a bit of a pain, especially with an I-Book. I know the USB won't be usable
until
the next OS upgrade is released sometime in the next month or so, but it
doesn't do you any good unless you can upload it via MIDI first. Not sure if
you've checked out the FAQ file on the MP-7 users group site, but it does
have some very useful info.

Thanks again,

jp

  PANZARE:
  The Karma has a lousy, no-action-whatsoever keyboard, by
  comparison the keys of the M1 are like a Steinway. Take that into
  account.
  The sequencer is powerful, and the Karma engine is even more
  so, but the whole concept in my opinion is a trifle overblown,
  meaning that, after all, is just an arpeggiator.
  The machine could have more realtime controls, but the sounds
  are good, as always with Korg.
  I hate the Korg OS's, and with the Karma at least you don't have
  that unnerving touchscreen which is slower in responding than a
  broken ansering machine.
  Roland has the best OS's. Yamaha has the most complex
  though being quickly responsive.
  The best keyboard workstation ever done, in my opinion, was
  Yamaha SY-85 from 1993. Anybody who has it will tell you there
  is nothing it doesn't do, sequencer- or synth-wise. It even loads
  samples. And realtime controls for filters and mixer settings.
  Unsurpassed.

  I like my MP7, and I've already called my rep to order the
  Protozoa, the Sounds of the ZR and the Beat Garden Roms.
  However, I really can't wait for somebody to explain me how to
  download this damn OS from my I-Book because I can't figure it
  out.
  Cheers.
  Max
