Re: [xl7] good partners for the px-7?

Well man, if what you need is another sequencer, and not another soundsource like the  JP8080,
get another EMU.  I have 2 of them, precisely because I haven't found another better hardware sequencer than the command station, and I have use desktop modules/sequencers like:
  Korg Electribes EA 1, ER 1 and ES 1
  Roland D2, MC 303, MC 307, MC 505, and MC 909
  AKAI MPC1000, yamaha RM1X, Waldorf MicroQ, etc....
  And none of them can even touch the Command station as a SEQUENCER.   EMU has one of the most intuitive sequencers ever built.  You can record, edit patches, edit patterns, save, control other synths, etc.... without stopping the sequence or abandoning menus...that's what i love of this sequencer. It can capture your ideas instantly.

          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.
