he110 group - great tips/info here.
James-
I WANT it! looks great.
I dont care for any roms- and would just like to use for sequencing external hardware.
my yellow(horrible) xl7 with 4roms has to be covered in studio at all times -unless of course i am working it.
....so maybe that one will be up for sale if James contacts me!?
machfox[at]hotmail.com
some of us like "style" AND 'function"
BTW EMU- WTF!? yellow-cmon. not very rock at all.

Subject: Re: [xl7] my PX-7 for sale
Just to add my $0.02 to this debate on what is a fair price for a ROM-less PX-7. With custom LCDs I can see perhaps someone going for it, but my personal opinion is that the only things really going for the PX were the ROM and the fact that OS 2 shift functions are silkscreened on the panel. I had a PX for a while and thought it to be the ugliest of all of my kit - that not quite silver drab gray finish just doesn't work for me. I prefer the bright and cheery orange-yellow of my XL-7, which I got with 4 ROMs installed for $700 with free shipping. Two less ROMs (sold on eBay for $400) and one added Composer ROM ($100) later and I've got an XL-7 with three ROMs (XL-7, MP-7, and Composer) for a total of $400.
Obviously James is not trying to appeal to people like me who are always searching for bargains. There's a market for upscale "custom" kit, where people have added wood end cheeks, or custom backlit mod wheels, or custom displays (as here), or even hack 'n' rack conversions of keyboards. Buyers in that market seem far too willing to pay a lot of money for the extra glam factor. James is right, he'll get his $450, and it's likely the buyer will be someone who actually considers that to be a sweet deal.

It's on Ebay for $395
Grey is the classic color starting from the Drumulator all the way through the EIII.
I don't think too many people on the forum are classic E-MU folks. More of the camp of this 90's and post 90's marketing scenario that Creative pulled on certain customers when Dave Rossum lost control of his company. Anyways it's there if anyone wants it.
thanks.

"I couldn't help but notice that $395 is less than the $450 firm price," he said with a light-hearted wink in his smile.
(I certainly hope no one is keeping score as to whether or not James got the original asking price.)
Anyhow, glad to hear two members are satisfied with the transaction.
And thanks for not posting the tracking number here for all to see and look up.
Steve

Of course, but some people (like me) find it somewhat drab. Perhaps "ugliest" wasn't the right word to use, as the PX is not really an ugly instrument. It does look far more serious than the MP-7 and XL-7, and I think I gravitate toward instruments that look like they're fun to play with. Maybe that's because my approach to electronic music in general is that of a hobbyist having fun instead of a serious musician getting work done.
