Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

What is everyone's views and opinions regarding using the E5000 with the
MP-7? See, lately I've been upgrading my studio.

So far I have:
Digi 001 Pro Tools (Waiting on my Computer to be finish getting put
together)
Emu MP-7
Emu Proteus 2000
Roland VM3100pro
Beringher Truth Monitors
Sony CDRW33 CD Recorder
Tascam DAT Recorder
Alesis DM5 Drum Module
Roland XP-10 Keyboard Synth

But to complete this I was looking for a decent sampler and I am leaning
towards the Emu E5000 Ultra Class Sampler

The Ultra series is a nice addition to an XX-7 rig if for no other reason
than you will be programming a very similar synth when you use the Ultra.
The E5000 is a tremendous deal at its current $700 (direct from E-mu, US
customers only).  It is in every respect the pinnacle of E-mu hardware
sampling technology.  Easy to use (for a HW sampler) and it has a lot of
creative options for mangling samples.  It does, however suffer the the same
limitations regarding EFX that the XX-7 does.  if you want more EFX, and
still wish to stay in the E-mu family then you will need something like an
E6400 Ultra and and the RFX-32 effects add-on ($$$).  frankly if that is a
need I would look outside E-mu at a Z4/Z8 from Akai or maybe an A5000 from
Yamaha.  Regardless the Ultra-series are great HW samplers.

looking at your kit though I wonder if you have considered forgoing the HW
sampler entirely and using one of the many software samplers on your
computer.  This suggestion of course depends how you like to work and if you
will be performing away from your studio/computer.  But if this is to be a
primarily-in-the-studio application the computer sampler is worth
considering.

Some of what you wish to do also depends on your intended use for the
sampler.  if you are looking to add a large and flexible library of sounds
then that takes you one place.  if at the other extreme you wish to mainly
sample loops and bits and then mangle them beyond recognition that would
suggest something different.  A good sampler will cover both uses (with the
right library), but if your interested in only one of these aspects there
may be a better overall approach.
