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

The Proteus 2500 has a faster processor than the XX-7 and P2K.  It also has 
24 bit digital outs where as the XX-7 has 20 bit.  My guess on the faster 
CPU is probably most people using the 2500 would be doing big 32 track 
sequences via a computer and that faster processor would come in handy.  The 
XX-7 has the internal 16 track sequencer and most people would use that 
rather than a computer based sequencer and the 32 channels.  Hence no need 
for the faster CPU.  Just a guess on their thoughts though...
