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

Sorry Bohemian, I have to reply again:

The MC505 is hardly mono, has 64 voices not 8 and has a lot on the 
XL7 already, read the archives here. This is not to say the XL7 is 
not great. That is why I have one! *If* the MC909 is better than the 
MC505 by a long shot: expansion ports, tons of knobs and sliders, 
sampling, and the HUGE (a la triton/fantom) display, well then it 
may certainly kick the ass of anything around right now.
