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

Just thought I would throw my two cents in on this one.  I have been 
using the E5000 for a couple of years now and i love it.  I do have 
it loaded up with a 10 gig drive and a 128Mb of ram mind you.  The 
sound is very warm and the features for setting up programs is very 
nice and bug free.  I think if you wanted to blow your head up with 
a sampler you may want a EMU with the FX upgrade.  I have never 
heard a bum review on the fx expansion, Mind you it is alot of 
cash.  I have also heard alot of good things about the yamaha 
samplers but have never used one so dont know first hand.

The way i see it is kinda like this.  EMU where the people that 
invented the sampler.  So why would you buy a sampler from a company 
that makes motercyeles?  I used akai for a long time and when I went 
to a EMU it was instant love.  I would recomend buying a sampler 
from a company that make instraments rather than toys motercycles 
and diskmans.

This is all just my opinion but hope it is worth something to you.

Best reguards and good luck.
