Yes.  Besides the obvious pads and knobs, XL-7 has an even faster
processor and new presets that aren't on XL-1.  It also has a USB port
which will be used to connect to a computer when we release USB drivers.

Plus, it looks cool...

As far the Synthesizer goes, they are practically identical.

The differences other than the sequencer are:

The Xl-7 has;
a faster processor that provides better MIDI timing and a cleaner,
crisper sound.
More Knobs for Quick edit. Also, the knobs can be used to control 16
MIDI channels of volume and  Pan while in Volume Mode and Pan Mode.
Finally, there is a Programmable Mode for the knobs as well. You define
the MIDI channel (A or B,  infernal, external or both) and Controller
for each knob.
16 Programmable trigger buttons
Quick Page jumps for Preset edit, translation - better and quicker navigation.
USB
PADS
Light connector

There's probably other things, but this what I can remember for now.

Hi guys

It may have a faster processor, but it also have a more "processor hungry" software, which causes glitches and crashes sometimes.

The emu stuff blows up completely in the middle of
your session and they won't supply parts to get your
units fixed. Trust me, I know.
