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

I love the XL7 and use it constantly and cannot
imagine using anything else. Last month I did a
performance for the music and tech dept at a prominent
national music school. Afterwards all the students
(who work on powerbooks only) were gathering around
asking "what is that orange thing?!?" (XL7) so I found
myself saying "well that is a Dedicated Hardware Synth
with knobs and controllers and a loop
sequencer..."They were like "WOW, that's
amazing...cool"...it was funny and I did not expect
it. But it makes sense, most of these people were like
10 or 11 when the Command Stations were released and
since then the trend is total software. All the kids
liked the XL7 however and asked "where can I get one
of those?"....eBay my friends.... I predict a retro
wave of development of dedicated hardware devices once
again - if for marketing purposes only, hopefully by
Emu. The XL8.
