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

UPDATE: There's been no response from the group, and insulting offers from Craigslist - I'm possibly going to put it up on eBay. If the prospects look grim, then I'll hang onto it, until either an okay offer comes in, or... I learn how to use it! Meanwhile, if anyone finds this later, you're more than welcome to contact me, to see where I am with it. I'll still be a member of the group, as I want to learn more about the Command Station, and would buy another later, once I know what I'm doing with it.

> I joined the group back in January, around the time I purchased my MP-7. I've only been able to use it twice, briefly since then. Not having used a drum sequencer remotely as multi-featured as this before, it seems like it has a more steep learning curve than I was prepared for. So I feel I need to sell it. I was so amped for this thing, and looking forward to getting an XL-7 card for it, but I don't feel I can learn this interface in time for an upcoming project. All I've figured out from the manual, so far, is how to mute/add tracks from patterns and I have done 4-bar step sequencing. However, even though I think I'm saving them to an empty user slot, they're never there, when I turn the unit back on. Also, by the time I get past 4-bars, I can't for the life of me, make these into longer patterns, nor manage to save enough custom patterns to build a song. I've run out of patience. lol

> Physical condition looks good - no scratches, marks, or cracks. Powers up and down without issue and sounds good, from what I've been able to use so far. Only the MP-7 ROM card came installed. There's been no smoking indoors.
