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

I've used the 909 pretty extensively.  I'd have to say the screen is pretty
nice, but a lot of the features are recycled.  And so are the SRX sounds.  I
think that roland has a good soundset, but I don't personally think it's any
better than the EMU.  EMU has the advantage of the filters.  The best
filters in the industry are in the xx-7's.   The 909 may look like it has a
lot, but much of their technology is simply old.  twin DBEAMS?  Comon,
roland...  The sampler is pretty nice, however, as is the turntable
emulation.  If you're going for the sounds, I'd just recomend getting a
xv2020 sound module.  And there are quite a few better samplers out there.
Overall ,  the 909 is a cool machine, but not worth the ching.  I'm sure
they'll lower the price in a year.... i'd be willing to bet on it...
