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

I'm still debating about this unit.  I have the Korg es-1, the emu 
orbit, and alesis sequencers.  I'm thinking about getting the xx-7.  
If it does everything it's SUPPOSED to, then it should replace my 
orbit & OLD sequencers.

The thing is, all these bugs!  SO...  What's up users?  Is this 
thing worth it?  Are ALL MY NoTES going to get cut off when i change 
patterns durring a live set?  Is it going to constantly be a 
nightmare to program?  

This unit appears to be awesome, but I'm very concerned about these 
and other issues brought up in this forum!  IS it worth it???  Or 
will I be personally doing beta testing for E-Mu?
