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

The best thing you can do for yourself is get the complete manual 
printed up.  The XL is a real great piece of equipment, and it will 
do lots of things, but this means it has a learning curve... 
especially if this is your first synth. 

I've been thru a lot of synths... I've had my XL for about a year 
now, and I'm just starting to explore its more advanced features.

The manual for the XL is very well written, and it will teach you 
everything you need to know, from basic terminology on up.  There 
should be a PDF in the files section of this group, or you can find 
it on www.emu.com

If you have Kinkos in your area you can have the PDF printed and 
bound with a cover for about $28, and you can submit it online and 
pick it up next day.

Short of that, if you give us some more information as to what's 
tripping you up, I'm sure people here would be happy to help.
