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

I'm going to second the rack sampler advice... Even if you get an ESi 
you're going to have a better sampler than with the MPC. I don't get 
it, if you wanted the MPC you should have gotten the Mo phat Keys or 
the module. And, if you want the Mpc's sampler buy a fully expanded 
S2000 that costs 1/5 an Mpc... But, hey, its your money.
