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

If you really want to get blown away, try Reason with
Live (from Ableton.) This makes a formidable laptop
weapon for the beat-oriented performer/composer.

However, I don't believe that software fully replaces
the 7's. The reliable hardware interface, great sounds
and overall "dedicated-ness" of the Command Station
concept  has both appeal and advantages (...you'll
never get an audio gltich because email has arrived,
etc...)

I love it all -- it's great creating patterns on the
'7, then sampling it into Live, then adding stuff with
Reason through ReWire, then syncing it all back up
with the '7. Too much fun.
