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

What a drag, I was hoping to get around the limitations of my DX200's 
crappy sequencer by dumping a file into the xl. Not that its a 
problem using Sonar, but it would be great live, since I want to use 
the XL as my live sequencer, and not have to lug an computer around 
with me.
Thanks much for taking the time to respond.
