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

Hi guys,

I'm the happy P2K owner. Recently I bought the Yamaha RM1x for a
friend of mine, so I had it for two weeks at home and it made me
thinking about how nice can be a pattern based sequencer. But RM1x was
not what I *really* wanted, and then I got back to E-mu and their
Command Stations. I subscribed to this list and I discovered a lot of
things still happen around this yellow box - I write yellow, because
I'm really not into the urban stuff, rather Berlin school and ambient.
So, I'm seriously thinking about buying one and here's my question -
what can be the estimate price of XL7? I'm perfectly aware that only
second-hand market can be considered, but still - any estimations
would be helpful.

Cheers,

Bruno

The sounds are in the rom chips, which are interchangeable with proteus 2k chips. For example, u can put any rom in any box, i.e. proteus 2k chip in an xl7 or xl7 chip in a proteus 2k or xl7 chip in a px-7. Each box will fit 4 chips. So for example I have px-7 which came with Proteus drums rom. I added xl7, beat garden, world expedition chips for a total of 4 chips.

The xl7 rom chip is available for $50 at epr electronics. The mp-7 chip is also available at epr.

The px7 supposedly has higher build quality but that will be disputed here. It also only comes with os 2 on it. Which means u don't have to deal with upgrading OS via MIDI.

Because of these reasons and the rarity of px-7 chip, I believe it is the box to get IF u can find one for a good deal.

I wouldn't pay more than 400 for a command station unless it had rare chips in it and was super clean.

Since you already have a Proteus 2k you can put up to 4 chips in it, and link the two devices with MIDI to be able to control sounds from 8 chips.

Hope this helps.

I forgot to say that I paid $250 cash put the door for my px7 in good players condition but not mint. I purchased it 1 year ago. I purchased it secondhand from dj world of stereo in SF, CA. It is the only px-7 I have ever seen, let alone seen for sale.
I paid between $50 and $200 for each chip. World expedition was the most expensive chip.

I have seen mp7 for between 200 with broken pads to 400 missing knobs. There are two of them in varied condition at dj world of stereo. I have also seen some on Craigslist.

I have not come across a used xl7.

EBay is very over priced. Try Craigslist. Or ask the list if anyone is willing to sell.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for quick response.

I've seen one here for 450€ (almost 600$), but that seemed a bit too
expensive for me.

You mean USD, right?

This I know, I already installed Protoza in my P2K. I was specifically
looking for a pattern-oriented sequencer, so that's why XL7.

Thanks, Bruno

I just saw an auction on ebay with XL7 going for 221$ after all (the
sound of heart breaking). Unfortunately shipping only to US, and I'm
in the Netherlands...

Everything I said was $ usd. Good luck on your search! If you need help forwarding that xl7 to Europe let me know.
