Re: [xl7] Re: Help MC-505 vs. XL-7 - Andre and all

For live work, the MC-505's ability to allow you to effortlessly tweak 
tunings, levels, filters, etc of individual drum sounds, snare, hi hat, 
whatever, whether in a pattern, or even in an rps you are flying in, is 
not to be underestimated if you enjoy true flying by the seat of your 
pants live work. 

>>>Agreed Ravi, the mc505 is much better at letting you control your set 
flow and experiment live, while keeping everything under wraps.  The 
XX-7's pretty much require you to have your entire set preplanned, in 
order to do it smoothly.  However, let's not forget summer NAMM starts 
next week, may EMU have some surprises? <<<

p.s. the only thing I worry about on lists like this that are blessed with 
company presence and input is that some members are either scared or 
intolerant of even slightly negative posts like this one and end up 
shouting down all dissent to show props for the company staff on board 
etc. 

>>>see the archives, there was plenty of this going on before the OS 1.31 
upgrade :) <<<
