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

I am using a Kurzwiel K2000RS. OK, so not many people think of this 
as a good rack sampler, but it is. Recycle will load loops over SMDI 
and you can process them using the full power of the VAST synth 
engine. It is also easy to cotrol all aspects of the sound from the 
xx-7 knob bank. Cheap SIMMs from your old mac can be used to expand 
it, and it has SCSI to store samples and patches. The best part is 
the synth engine though. It is much more powerfull than any other 
sampler on the market. Just make sure you get OS version 3. You will 
even get a (much less capable) backup sequencer "just in case."

For rebuilding and shuffling the samples, I like to use the xx-7 
arpegiators. I have a bunch of custom arpegios built for recycle 
sliced loops. I start them from the trigger keys. That way you can 
keep the samples running even while you switch patterns. The loops 
even play in perfect sync with the song! This a killer misuse of good 
features... keep it up emu.
