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

Atom,

I don't comment too much, I have owned the XL-7, MP-7 and currently own the Proteus 2500 for sequencing and yes the synth part of these workstations is excellent as is the 300,000 note sequencer, the largest out there to my knowledge. I use the 2500 for the majority of my creations.

It does sound like you might have more going on with your XL-7 though than I did, because these workstations never really laughed or ridiculed me.
It sounds like you may be doing more than plugging in your cables to the unit.

I am just kidding of course. Your description deserved a reply.

Bruce

i'm trying to grok the XL7. what's weird for me is that i can sit down in 
front of a K5000 or FS1r, and with just a few minutes, some sounds in my 
head, and the front panel controls, i can make those synths do what i 
want... but the XL7 just laughs at me...

i bought it for the sequencer, but the synth is proving more than worthy. 
both the synth and the sequencer are deeper than whale shit. this is one 
box that the more i use it, the more obvious it is that i don't know 
anything about it. it laughs at me while calling to me... it teases me 
then gives me something i didn't even know i wanted... it ridicules my 
lack of understanding then rewards me, sometimes with the fruits of 
effort, sometimes with the seeds of knowledge...

the XL7 is, overall, much deeper than a K5000 or FS1r, and i am compelled 
to master it, even if it makes my brain explode.
