Emu (or anyone) should make a portable midi module - like the size of a walkman - that I could plug my OXYGEN 8 into while on long trips - one that could maybe record, like 2 tracks... And then you would be able to upload patches to your actual module :D This sounds like something someone could build that would sell -- and roland would probably copy...

Realisticly, does anyone know a good way to taking this thing around without pluging it into anything but a midi device? Is this impractical? Would I need to lug around a 12volt car battery? - A laptop battery??

it would just be so sweet...

A friend of mine used a Roland PMA-5 for road trip recording.� It's a sequencer about the size of a palm pilot that has 300+ internal sounds, 16 drum kits, and MIDI in/out (of course).� And it looks like this:

They don't make 'em anymore, but I saw some on eBay for under $200.

If you wanted to later transpose your seq's to your XX-7 you'd have to buy their optional software, bump your tracks to an .SMF file, then import that to the XX-7.� Or just jack the PMA directly into the XX and copy the MIDI bits piece by piece.� I'm doing the latter with my old ASR-10 seq's, one track at a time.� It's taking less time than I thought it would, plus I can tweak 'em out as I go.
