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

hey, im new to all this.  i'd really appreciate it if someone could explain 
to me exactly wut mixers and samplers do and how the xl7 compares to its 
competition.

If your asking what mixers and samplers do/are: 

mixers mix sound.You can have a 4 piece band
(guitar,bass,drummer,singer) and (by mic or directly pluging the 
instruments into the mixer) mix all the different sound sources into 
a stero source(left and right)for recording to tape,cd,etc.You could 
get deeper but thats what the main purpose of a mixer is.

A sampler is a digital sound recorder that can record and play back
soundsin whatever way you choose (mostly some way musicaly). An 
example: I have a sampler, I want real drum sounds but dont have a 
real drum set.So recording from sample CDs, Your own music CDs, or a 
friends drum set, you can "assign" thedrum sounds (kick drum to one 
key/pad,snare to another key/pad ,hihat to another etc). Thus 
creating your own drum machine tostart making beats.

The emu XL7 is a Tone generator (has sounds built in it) and sequencer
(you are able to record its sounds in patterns/songs) using just it.
There is no sampler in it.

Ive had mine for about two weeks. Its allright. I love the sounds but 
disapointed about the glicths in it. Id recomend the yamaha RS7000 
over it for starters.Or reason 2 for your computer.But thats my 
thoughts.

The RS7000's sampler really sucks. You're better off with a command station and a sampler. Cheaper too. Alternately, if you prefer the Yamaha's UI, get an RM1x and a sampler.
