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

Wuz up everybody! I'm seventeen years old and I'm about to get the MP-
7 Command Station in a few days. I have downloaded just a few parts 
of the manual at www.emu.com, but I wanted to know from people who 
already use it, if it is hard to use or do you think I will get the catch and 
be able to start making songs within a few weeks.?

Well first upgrade the OS.. The manual follows the new release of the 
OS. It took me about a week of messing around abit at night after 
work to get thang of it. I still learn smoething new every day, but 
ive also had alot of expereince with musical gear and sequencing in 
gerneal, so it was a bit easier for me to interpret. I was pretty 
confused at first and the manual is about the same.. so good luck and 
feel freet ask your questions here...!:)

First off congratulations on picking out a great box. :)

I take it that this is your first stab at making electronic music?

This is a pretty deep box but there is alot that you can get to 
right off the bat thanks to patterns that come with the box.  I 
would start working with them and see what you come up with before 
you try and dive into the more complicated stuff.

I don't want to sound like i am putting you down or sompthing but 
expect to get confused and frustrated at first.  There is alot to 
understand in this box.  I have been making music with computers and 
synths for eight years and I got frustrated a few times when I first 
got this XL7 thing.  But I love it to bits.

I wish you the best of luck.  And as some one elts already said do 
feel free to ask your questions here.

Peace 

Mike G.

First of all welcome to our group, hope we can be of some help shoudl you 
ever need it.

Well, not to sound like a broken record, but here's the same analogy I use 
when ever anyone gets new gear and wants to kow how long it'll be before 
they're making killer songs.  The XX-7 is a musical instrument, and thus, 
it takes time to learn how to "play", just like any other musical 
instrument.  You wouldn't pick up a guitar for the first time and expect 
to be Jimi Hendrix a week later would you?  Not trying to dampen your 
spirits, just putting things in perspective.  Keep at and read the manual 
a fwe times and I'm sure in no time you'll be very familiar with the box 
and making all sorts of great tunes.  Just don't expect it to always be an 
easy road, there's a lot to learn along the way...
