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

BTw, what is the going price on the Xl-7, so I won't get ripped off??

>>>I think $499 is going rate for an XL-7 or MP-7, the PX-7's are more at 
$699. Only because they are new, you can easily get a Protean Drum ROM for 
cheap and put it in the XL-7 too. <<<

My intent is to play live, rather than focus on studio recording... Are 
any of you using the xl-7 or mp-7 in live "gig" situations... if so, have 
they crashed often(if at all)?

>>>I use mine live all the time, in fact that's it's main purpose for me, 
as a live sequencer/sound module.  The only time I've had major issues, 
was when the power outlet I was plugged into at the venue had questionable 
voltage.  They were running their sound and lights all off the same 
breaker, and I think it freaked out the XL-7.  Best bet is to get small 
$50 UPS and you'll be fine. <<<

I am focused on the dance, techno, trance genre; what would be good 
expansion cards to get???

>>>Doesn't matter to be honest, as long as you make your own sounds you 
can make any ROM sound good in those genres.  If you only want to use 
Factory Presets, then the TSCY, XL-ROM, Beat Garden, and POP rom all are 
good choices. ,<<

Lastly, what other hardware are you using to complement the xl-7?

>>>Sometimes an ER-1, previously a Roland SP808, and soon to get a Kaoss 
KP-2 effects unit too.  Starting very shortly I'll be using a laptop 
running Kontakt too. ,<<

I would like to use a novation remote 25...Is anyone out there using 
this???

>>>It's a great little keyboard, I plan on getting one once the laptop 
arrives. <<<

What other haredware would you reccommend???

>>>Depends on what you need it for.  I can do entire live sets using JUST 
the XL_7, so I don't think anything else is neccessary, only what you feel 
you need. ,<<
