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

I treat my equipment with utmost respect, as it currently pays my bills. I 
have 3 years of audio/visual technician experience under my belt and am very 
confident when working/repairing my own equipment. This is why i will not 
take my MP-7 in for repair at an authorized repair center. If this so called 
"rubber pad assembly" cost $200.00, add to this $60.00 an hour and it could 
end up costing me over $300.00 to replace one damn rubber pad. I doubt a 
service center is going to settle for this $200.00 price tag for a piece of 
rubber, they will probably get it from the same company EMU gets it from. 
They will most likely get just the rubber pads much cheaper (but wont tell me 
this). The EMU lady could not even tell me what is included with this $200.00 
assembly. Anyway, I just want to cut out the middle man and do it myself. Oh, 
by the way I also own an Alexis QS 8 weighted keyboard, triton and an ASR-X 
pro, I prefer using pads any day to record drums. With OS 2.0 installed in my 
MP-7 there is lots of reasons to work exclusively on this machine. Great job 
EMU, thank you.
