I think Yamaha makes a MIDI Filer too.

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.

Original Message:
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...
