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

That's basically it, if you don't need the sequencer or the aftertouch/velocity
sensitive pads or a keyboard, then the XL expansion in the Orbit 3 will pretty
much cover it.  I don't know if you use ebay though, I picked up my XL7 with the
MPhat and TSCY cards for 1100 when they were still full price- I would imagine
they are extremely cheap right now on ebay...

That's good information for me Andre, thanks.

It appears that the Orbit 3 has both the Techno Card, and Beat
Garden already installed.

This sounds good for $649.

Is the XL expansion card the same sound set that is in the XL-1 and
XL-7?

If yes, then it would probably be cheaper to go with the Orbit 3,
and the XL card.

Orbit 3= $649
XL sound card= $279

Total: $928 for all 3 sounds (XL, Techno, Beat Garden) if I get the
Orbit 3.

Or, I can go the XL-7 route

XL-7=$699
Beat Garden=$279
Techno=$279

Total: $1257 for all 3 sounds

Or, I can go the XL-1 Turbo:

XL-1 Turbo=$599
Beat Garden=$279
Techno=$279

Total: $1157 for all 3 sounds.

Result, seems like it's best to get the Orbit 3 in this case, that
is if the XL expansion card has the same patches as the XL-1 and XL-
7.

Does it?
