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

First of all welcome aboard!

I hear you man, I was the same way with SX and the PC, I needed a break 
from doing the computer thing all the time, and the XL-7 definitely gave 
me a breath of fresh air.  Is the timing tight?  I think so, though I'm 
sure Nick will disagree.  He's going to be doing some tests soon I 
believe, so that may clear things up.  For my purposes (live and studio) 
it's been more than tight enough.  Do the sounds get old?  Hard to answer 
this one as I program my own.  If you get sick of them though, there's 
tons of sound roms out there you can install to get some new sounds to pay 
with.  Yes, you can use a E5000 Ultra to burn samples to flash rom.

I'm seriously considering purchasing an mp-7 because i need a 
break from composing and working completely on the computer. 
i use a Mac with Logic, Reason and Ableton Live and all the 
technology is getting in the way of my music. so it's time for a 
new toy. the mp-7 looks and sounds dope and i''ve used e-mu 
stuff in the past and feel very comfortable working with it. my 
favorite piece of gear ever was my Ensoniq ASRX Pro(wish i 
hadn't sold it) because of the awesome sound quality. 
unfortunately the sequencer SUCKED and it was very buggy. 
anyway, i guess my question is: Is the sequencer on the mp-7 
very tight? i'll be producing hip-hop and mellow d&b and 
tightness is of the essence. i'm worried because i know e-mu 
isn't exactly known for making sequencers. and is everybody 
happy with the sounds or are they getting old? oh, and can i load 
my own sounds in with the expansion flash rom with an e5000 
Ultra or do i need an E4 sampler? it says 2 different things on 
e-mus site. thanks and i hope to be playing a new mp-7 soon.
