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

Andre, The reason I wanted to load my own samples on it is because I 
play live allot and wanted to make the XL-7 the dedicated sample 
player.. Because it is so small and compact. And Andre it is not 
weird behavor or complicated things that seem to make this thing 
crash or freeze up. some of the post I have read from the users on 
this board say they swich from one mode to another while the thing 
is playing and it crashes etc. I really want to buy one but I just 
keep reading these bad things.!!
