I have 2 command stations and an arsenal of synths for dance music.
Anything with MIDI can be controlled by the EMUS. But, depending of your musical taste.... is hard to recommend something.
the EMU command stations are romplers, so, another desktop with a different engine could be a good idea, like a virtual analog or DSP based synth, a sampler, or a real analog.
the Rolnad JP 8080 is one of the best VA synths ever. It has a great sound, it can process external audio throught audio inputs, it has some kind of vocoder, and it has sequencer incorporated. The amazing JP8080 is around $600.
Other options are the Nord lead desktop module, or the Waldorf Q. The monophonic real analog Dave Smith's Evolver ($500) wich has an incredible powerful sound, or a Access VIRUS B ($600).
But a Yamaha RM1X is not so great. Is kinda of rigid when changing patterns, and its MIDI interface sucks.. and it's engine is similar to the EMU's engine.
Get something different, to complement two different sources of sound

I'm liking the sequencer on the PX-7 more and more as I get to know it
better. I'm mainly using to drive software instruments though, I
haven't been using the sounds much. I'm thinking of adding another
hardware midi sequencer to the mix just for variety. Ideally
something a little different that would complement the PX-7.
Any favorites? I don't care at all about onboard sounds, just midi
sequencing. The Yamaha rm1x/rs7000 look interesting and, from what I
can glean from the manuals, are fairly different. I've tried the
recent MPCs and I think the PX-7 is pretty much superior in every way
as a sequencer. I've also tried the Elektron stuff which I found
overly simplistic as a midi sequencer and the Sequentix P3 which is
very powerful but too much of a head scratcher.
