Re: [xl7] another sampler/sequnecer (almost OT)

2011-01-14 by Matt

Did u get it and how do u like it? I am thinking of asr-x from ebay or of electribe esx. I already have rs7000 sampler too but thinking of selling since it sits in the corner for difficulty of use and also I can't seem to program it on the fly. Or maybe I just need to spend more time with the manual.
