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

Well, with everyone so keyed up about discontinued products...i ask, 
what's the big deal? I was worried as well, after buying the yellow 
screamer, as some bloke at GC told me they were discontinued soon 
thereafter. But, given the product support still being strong, i 
really don't care about too much else. And my initial worries are all 
but gone. We should just enjoy making music with it, as it is really 
a tool. Most tools come and go, that's the nature of the industry. 
How long it exist in your arsenal is individual.  As for the new PX-
7, it is the new paint, minor revision of labeling--on the top side 
of the 'start' , 'stop', 'record', and 'tap' buttons. With X-mix, 
Loop, Replace, Copy, and new rom chip. It's anyones guess whether or 
not there will a 'new' XL-7 with revisions as well. It really doesn't 
matter to me that mine is yellow, but it will be either a sky blue 
metallic or laminated with a super thin carbon fibre sheet(absolutely 
WICKED!), in the future. I say, don't worry about future gear. Enjoy 
using what you got. I don't have much, but i love the act of using 
what i DO have, to make music, no matter how pissy some of my gear 
can get. Don't see myself 'outgrowing' my yellow beast for some time. 
Peace out you lot.
