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

Hi!  Thanks for the offer.  I understand what you're saying.  I just couldn't let it go for that, and include shipping.  I may just hang on to it and dive more into that manual and YouTube videos this summer; try to get some use out of it.  I saw so many articles, reviews, and posts touting how easy it was to use, but before buying it, I should have thought about the fact that these are people who've used far more complex units than I have. I'm sure that if I can learn how to use it, I'll find it too be more valuable to me than what I paid.  :) - J
