I'm enjoying it, and glad that I sold my p2k to
upgrade. It's my first hardware sequencer, so I really don't have all that much
to compare it to. It does everything that I expected it to, the controls are
well laid out and it sounds like a P2k box. It's my first experience with a
hardware sequencer, and as far as I can tell, the feature set doesn't seem
breaking any new ground as far as live sequencer goes, but the package is
solid.
I found that really need the computer - the
editing and writing process can be a little tedious for anyone who's used to
just dragging stuff around a screen, and there are some thing which may be
impossible to create using the onboard sequencer. This is just my opinion and
preference, however. The transfer program is
a bit mysterious - instructions of the format of the midi file would help a
new user quite a bit.
I wish I could give you a better review, but I am
so busy getting the live/sequenced thing going (synched echoplex, 5 effects
units, chapman stick, auditioning drummers) that
I have barely any time to worry about the Xl-7 :P It's just one worry of many
:>
So, how are the other users here finding
it?
Is anyone planning on using the record button in a
live situation? I've been thinking about this - laying down basslines and
melodies from my ztar, and having them loop. Would that be cool? Hmm, looks like it's going to be another late night :> Let
see how it goes.

'cause i don't know much yet. I dropped by Mars today and had a
chance to play around with mp7. the sound quality was great but
I didn't know my way around it so could only audition the presets.
They had a xl7 on display but not hooked up.I do hope that more
users will post their knowledge here. is anybody knocked out by
this baby? do ya love it-or no?-----and why?
