Re: MP-7 vs. SP12

2002-12-08 by psychogroove1 <Reek@SoundsAmazing.com>

I  agree. I sold my SP-1200 early this year. I was very attatched to
it but found 
myself using it less and less. Then without a stand alone drum
machine, 
decided to ditch my Proteus 2k and invest in an MP-7. I use it far
more than 
the P2k and SP-1200 together with more than the functionality of the
sum of 
the 2. I have the capability of making my own ROMs for the MP-7 so
some of 
my old library I used for the 1200 I can slip into the MP-7. 
I think you'll dig the XX-7 line. I belive there's more good news to
come next 
year with the rev 2.0 OS. And at today's price, the XX-7's are
untouchable by 
anyting in that price range.
