Ok, now I am exploring which E-mu sampler would compliment the MP- 7. I want to compare it to the Akai MPC2000xl, in price and features. thanks for the help.

One of the great thing about the E-Mu samplers is you can buy the lower level Ultra 6400 and upgrade it as your needs and bank account allows to turn it into the big Ultra or Platinum versions. These are the same core components with different options installed and libraries on CD ROM that are or are not included. I would suggest buying the 6400 if your tight on $$$, and your own IDE hard drive as it's typically cheaper than buy the drive from the factory . You may need a kit from e-mu to install the drive, I'm not sure if cable and mounting hardware come with it. You WILL need sone sort of storage device. E-Mu has some refurbished samplers on their web site at great prices. Also, here's a link to e-mu's comparrison chart showing the features of the different models. http://www.emu.com/products/e4xtUltra/ultracomparison.html Havok --- In xl7@yahoogroups.com, "studio_6512 <studio6512@c...>" < studio6512@c...> wrote:

Thanks. I could not help but notice that there is not a sequencer built in this unit. If I use my MP-7 would this integrate nicely with it. I guess it would be cheaper to get this instead of the Akai MPC2000xl. Looks like I will be cutting my cost in half by going with this sampler. Mark

The Ultra series has a basic 48 track sequencer. It is a linear sequencer with only basic editing but it works reasonably well. Also regarding Emu models, the E5000 is not as expandable as an Ultra E6400 but it can have its memory and it can have an internal ATA or SCSI hard drive added fairly easily. So unless you are after some of the more advanced options, or the polyphony upgrade the E5000 will do the job. You might want to check out Emu's website because they have some great deals on new, refurbished Ultra-series samplers, including E5000's for $695. drk www.delora.com/music www.mp3.com/zdrk drk.iuma.com

The Emu hard drive mounting kit is a complete rip off,its basically 4 screws,ide cable(or scsi) and a power cable (non standard). All these components can be bought from a computer store for a fraction of the price.However I believe a standard computer IDE drive power cable may need to have 2 of its pins/wires swapped around. I lurve my E6400 it kicks ass!! craps over soft samplers for sound quality, filters, transposition etc:))
