Re: [xl7] Comparison to Akai

You're comparing apples to oranges IMO.  Yeah, the MPC let's you use your 
own samples, but it's a sampler, the XX-7 is a synth.  In terms of sounds, 
there's plenty of ROMs you can add to the XX-7's should you need more.  As 
far as sequencers go, I won't lie.  The MPC is way ahead of the XX-7's in 
terms of sheer features and flexible editing, but the XX-7's are far more 
intuitive and faster to work with IMO.  I was debating both when I got my 
XL-7, and ended up with the XL-7 because it was very fast to get my ideas 
down, and you get a top of the line Emu synth to boot.

What are you looking to get the PX-7 for?
