Re: [xl7] PX-7 vs XL-7 vs MP-7

2004-01-28 by erik_magrini@Baxter.com

The PX-7 is the newest Command Station, which ships with the Protean Drum 
ROM included, instead of the Xtreme lead or Mo Phatt ala the XL-7 and 
MP-7.  All three units are identical except for their case color, and the 
ROM inside.  You could for instance install a Mo phatt ROM in a XL-7 and 
have the same sounds as the MP-7.  And while you can of course program any 
style of music on any one of the three, each has samples that make it more 
or less suited for a particular genre.  Each ROM has different instruments 
(samples) used to create the sounds, so they are different in this 
respect.

The Protean Drum ROM in the PX-7 would be fine for hip hop though, the 
drum samples on that ROM are all new, and sound much better than any 
previous Emu drums.  I don't use a Mo-Phatt ROM, so I can't comment on if 
it would be better suited for you.

You mentioned the PX-7. What's that, and how does it differ from the 
XL-7? Also, I read that the XL-7 and the MP-7 are virutally 
identical, except that the XL's sounds are geared more towards 
electronica/dance, while the MP's are geared towards Hip Hop. But 
can't you just program in your own sounds? And if so, can't you use 
an XL-7 to create Hip Hop (which is the style I mainly create)? 
Thanks to everybody who replied to my posts - you've been very 
helpful.
