Re: [xl7] XL7, compared to...

2008-01-14 by Zsolt Szabó

For me, one thing:

I have to seldom stop the seq while I'm working.
Only required on a few tasks. Big plus, as I'm doing
music mostly live, while recording to audio, then lately
cutting and assembling the parts.

I know this was not mentioned but I'm looking forward
to the LinnDrum II from Dave Smith/Roger Linn.
Combined with my XL-7 it would be a dream setup
both for sequencing and songwriting. The LinnDrum II
would work along the same concept - you don't have to
stop the sequencer to accomplish the most editing tasks,
at least that's how it is advertised. I'm collecting money...

  this should be an interesting forum to ask this question...

  i've never had any hands on with these:
  XL-7, RM1x, MPC-xxx, MC-303/505/etc

  of the RM1x and assorted roland garbage, i don't have to hear the XL-7 to 
  know that the sounds are better, and i doubt that anyone here would debate 
  me on that.

  but regarding a sequencer, who can tell me what makes the XL7 better than 
  the rest for live performance? i'm not looking to start a flame war, and 
  i'm definitely leaning towards the XL7, but if anyone has used the other 
  gear, i'm interested in hearing about how they compare.

  thanks...
