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

rEalm and Lynn - Thanks for the responses!
I've read that the pads are velocity sensitive - can I disable that 
function if I want? Also, how much internal memory is available? The 
MC-505 offers 50 songs, 200 patters, 250 patches, etc. How does the 
XL-7 compare? The more I hear about this thing, the more I want one.
