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

I can not really tell you much about the internal sounds of the MC-
909, except that the demos on mc-909 is CRAP! I believe the internal 
sounds of the MC sounds like the average MTV song... nothing orginal.

The sounds of the MP-7 is very nice in my opinion, much better. Also, 
the Proteus Expansions (I own the ZR, World and Beat Garden 
expansions) is fantastic. At least the Beat Garden and World. ZR I 
really didn't like (the piano was amazing tho)

The MC-909 can be expanded with an SRX card which holds 64mb of 
samples.

The MP-7 has 128 note polyphony. The MC-909 has 64, but stereo 
waveforms only takes 1 poly on the MC, while it takes 2 poly on the 
MP-7. At the other hand, sampled stereo waveforms on the MC-909 takes 
2 polyphony.

The MC-909 has much more effects, and you have much better controll 
of them. The MC-909 has four effect processors (I think) and a master 
effect.

The MC-909 has an sequencer with piano roll interface, which makes it 
really flexible.

I've had my XL-7 for almost two years now, and many buttons and the 
data wheel is already responding weird. I don't know about the MC-
909, but I think it's better.

The MP-7 still has a couple of bugs in it's sequencer.

Overall, I think everything is better about the MC-909, except its 
internal sounds.

I've already ordered the MC-909 for it's sequencer and sampling, 
which I will use to controll the XL-7 as a sound module (until now 
I've used the XL-7 as sequencer) - so if you want to get a machine 
with a good internal sequencer, go for the MC-909. no doubt about 
that.
