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

I don't know how advanced you are as an rm1x user - but while in 
groove edit - it has quantize groove edit functions that are unique 
to the xl - where as the xl has similar functions only they are 
definitely NOT the same - these things are VERY important to look 
into before getting into some serious editing mistakes - it is always 
good to know how to edit something properly before actually trying to 
edit it ...
