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

I will start by saying that I am sorry if I rubbed you the wrong 
way.  I think I have just heard to much complaining in here about 
this box.

>>>Yeah, we're all a bunch of whiners now and then :) <<<

Dude it is simple I am not shur why people have a hard time with it. 
Anyone who has ever used a mixer with four FX sends can just look at 
it the same way. 

>>>Same here, the effects aren't that hard to understand.  Not sure why 
peopel complan about the implementation either, I think the send are way 
more flexible than say the mc505 or the RM1x.  Complaints should be about 
the type of effects (too bread and butter for a dance machine), not the 
sends. <<<

I see what you are getting at but is very good to have things like the 
LFO's for triggering/retriggering drum sounds. Once you get familier with 
the chords and the setup of the preset edit layers it is not a long 
process to get what you are after, as long as you know what you want.  It 
is easy to get distracted in there.

>>>I'd rather have too many options, then not enouigh (ala Yamaha) <<<

I wish I could help you out there but I know nothing about MAC's.  That is 
totaly frustrating, I had some trouble with it the first time and it drove 
me nutts.  Good luck, but i dont think you will need luck if you have 
Aaron helping you.

>>>I know of two other people using MAc Ti Books that can't use E-Loader 
either, even though all signs say ti shoudl work.  I've told tehm to 
contact Emu support about it as well.  Agreed, that is really frustrating. 
 since you work at a music store, I would think it would be dead easy to 
bring the XL-7 into the store and do it with one of the PCs/Macs there. 
You've got way more options open to you than most people do take advantage 
of them! <<<
