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

I use Ableton Live.  It has the disadvantage that it doesn't send
program change info (or it didn't I haven't checked to see if Live 6
does) but that doesn't bother me.  Another good program is Cubase.  I
own a version of it but rarely use it.  I have heard a lot of good
things about Fruity loops as well.   

I want to check out seq24 http://www.filter24.org/seq24/index.html but
I don't know much about it and I don't know if 'll have the time. 
(BTW it's free) I don't know anything about it I can't even tell if it
is software only or can control external gear.  

I am very partial to the built in sequencer on the XL7 and often just
sync Ableton Live to my XL7.  after working on the XL7 I'll use
e-loader to import a sequence and then play it in live controling the
XL7.
