a few more questions and request for opinions

2003-04-28 by dwoodaman

Hey group -
It seems I am trying to convince myself to buy either the MP7 or the 
XL7, based a lot on its sequencing capabilities to use with my other 
grooveboxes. I have listened to the mp3s on the emu site but still I 
am wondering: are the drum sets similar on both machines? For preset 
loops, can you edit these and change the loops? Can you change 
paramaters on the drum samples themselves, like start point, attack, 
etc?
And seeing the hundreds of drum samples available, does anyone know 
what the difference is with the new machine that is coming out?
Is one machine better than the other for getting lots of analog 
sounds? Are the few pianos and strings pretty much the same on both 
machines?
Sorry, I realize these are all very subjective questions! and 
probably not too many people have both cards in their machines. 
Any comments most appreciated, and you will be held harmless if I end 
up buying one.
thx
Dana
