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

My first gear purchase since using only an Ensoniq Mirage since 1990
for Hip-Hop was an XL-7(Custom painted black). So even though I'm not
new to sampling I'm new to anything other than a Mirage and WOW!!!!!
This is a match made in heaven(Premo watch out). I also have a Roland
S-750 sitting under the XL-7 but am still waiting for the wires and
zip drive from the seller.

A beautiful thing about using a Mirage or any other sequencer-equipped
sampler with the XL-7 is that I was worried that I would have to redo
my original Mirage sequences but not so. I just armed the XL-7
sequencer in 'first note record' mode and hit play on the Mirage
sequencer and voila, all notes were recorded into the XL-7!

And the synth in it kicks some booty also. This thing is totally rad!
