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

Hey Don,

the MP-7 is not a sampler, so you cannot time stretch. It's a groove box /
rompler pattern sequencer. And a damn good one.
Now as for midi house patterns, it would be much more benificial for you to
learn how to program house for yourself. House patterns groove around a 4 on
the floor kick. You have a very powerfull step sequencer under your thumbs.
And a very easy to use one at that.
Pull out a house record with some hi hats you like. Listen to the pattern,
then try recreating that pattern in your emu. Do the same thing for kick /
snare patterns. Then congo / bonga patterns.
You can then use these pattern for any preset sound in the box!
It might take a month or two of programming patterns. However it soon
becomes very natural. If your in a club, and you hear a dope pattern, half
of you will be shak'n your ass,  the other half will be programming that
pattern into YOUR memory buffer for tranfering to your MP-7 :)...

Do you have any experience with step base sequencing?

Best of luck.
