Re: IS IT WORTH IT?!

2002-05-07 by drj0

Ok, guys.  Thats what i thought.  It's funny how things are.  If 
something is great, you never hear about it.  if there's somthing 
wrong with it you hear a LOT about it.  I think most of the 
negitive  posts that I see refer to an older OS.  

I have not played with this unit yet.  Nor will I likely be able to 
before I buy it.  But that should be ok.  I plan to replace 
everything in my setup with the XL-7 and the RS-7000 .... so far 
that seems like a very good idea.  I'm sick of hauling racks of gear 
and want to narrow it down to one rack and one suitcase, 5 minute 
setup time, and rock the floor... Also, I encorporate Turntablism, 
scratching, juggling, and cutting into my sets.  It's only 
imparitive that I have somthing that's compact and can easily fit 
above the decks. 

The sound of Emu Products is AMAZING.  I can't wait to get one of 
these things and load it with the XL, World, and err...  any chance 
i can get 8 slots ;) - And finally somthing that can replace my old 
alesis sequencers.  

ok, you got me excited again.  I was a bit worried.... however...

I haven't heard much of the jungle/Drum&bass community saying much 
about this unit...  anyone?
