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

Hi there, 

I have recently started using an MPC1000 (with JJ/OS 2.0) along side
my trusty XL7 and it seems to be a nice compliment. I just added an
MTP AV so everything down the chain (Nord Rack, Oberheim Echoplex)gets
it's clock from the Timepiece, and the MPC starts and stops the XL7,
but the sequencers are remaining separate at this point.
The XL7 still RULES in my book, as far as laying down tracks quickly
and efficiently in a musical fashion. If you like the way you write on
the XL7 - with just a little bit more sample management in advance,
you can do pretty much the same style writing on the MPC.
(Can't change tracks in record on MPC - but you can drop out of
record/change track and back into record without stopping tho...)
I think these two play well together.
Hope this helps
 jt
