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

Hey gang,
I currently use an MC-505 (which I love), but I just heard about the 
XL7, and it sounds great. Has anyone had any experience with both 
machines, and if so, how do they compare? What I love most about the 
505 is the sequencer, and specifically, the grid/step recording 
features. It's so damn easy to program the thing - which is handy for 
a dummy like myself. Does the XL7 have an easy-to-program sequencer? 
Also, I've heard the sounds on the XL7 are even better than those on 
the 505, which is great (not that I think the 505's sounds are bad, 
but there's always room for improvement). How good is the XL7 at 
creating your own sounds/patches? Any opinions/help would be greatly 
appreciated. 
Fab
p.s. I assume you can't buy these in stores anymore, right? Is ebay 
the only place to find them now?

>>>All of my comments are my owbn personal opinionl just so we get that 
out of the way asap.  I think that in terms of ease of use and a fast 
workflow, the XL-7 beats it hands down.  You don't have to stop the 
sequencer to enter any of the record modes or save, so you really can keep 
on working all day (caveats below) without having to stop your music. 
Where the 505 takes the edge is when it comes time to edit what you've 
previosuly recorded, as it has more options like groove quantize, and 
real-time transpose.

The grid editing on the XL-7 is identical to the 505, except for the 
layout of the grid buttons (2 rows of 8, not 1 row of 16).  The XL-7 even 
lets you sue the grid for adjustint gate time too. <<<

505, which is great (not that I think the 505's sounds are bad, but 
there's always room for improvement). 

>>>I had to sell my mc505 a few years ago, and when it was time for 
another "groovebox" I finally had it narrowed down to the 505 and XL-7. 
The XL-7won because it really does sound a lot better than the 505.  Much 
cleaner sound, way more detailed, and the modulation options on the emu 
synths kicks butt over any other rompler (you get 24 patch cords per 
instrument, 4 instruments make up a patch, just like the 505).  Also, you 
get digital out too, very nice. <<<

How good is the XL7 at creating your own sounds/patches? 

>>>It's very easy witht eh 16 knobs, and deep editing via the menus isn't 
that bad either. <<<

p.s. I assume you can't buy these in stores anymore, right? Is ebay the 
only place to find them now?

>>>Nah, you can still find them in stores, they're not discontinued. <<<

---------------

If I had to list areas where the 505 was better, it would be these:

- Effects.  The 505 just has more interesting effects, though I think the 
Emu reverb sounds better.
- Groove quantize.  The Swing quantize on the XX-7 is my favorite of any 
sequecner, but it's the only option besides straight quantizing.
- Back up.  At least the 505 has an out-dated form of data storage, the 
XX-7 doesn't have any except sysex dumps for your sounds, and the included 
E_Loader software for backup patterns and songs.

Feel free to ask any questions, there's quite a few former 505 users on 
this list ;)

rEalm,
Thank you very much for the very detailed reply! Damn, you've got me 
REALLY considering buying one of these puppies. Now, where do I get 
the money? Hmmm.....I have one last question: when you say that the 
XL7 only offers sysex dumps for storage, you mean in addition to 
onboard (ie: flash) memory, correct? The 505 (as I'm sure you know) 
can store 200 patterns, 250 patches, 50 songs, etc. Can the XL7 also 
save patterns/patches/songs onboard? If so, I'm gonna have to get 
myself one. Damn you! The missus is gonna kill me! :)

this one is easy......the xl-7 blows the 505 away in all areas except for
effects.   the grid recording is way easier.  the sounds are awesome.  i had
a 505 and got rid of it when i bought the xl -7......about those effects
though....the 505 had some good ones, but i can get better ones from my zoom
1201 and old boss digital delay.

I have had my Xl-7 for a couple of months now and I still cant figure out how to add a effect just to one patch like delay for example without it affecting all the patches.it seems if I add delay to one thing everything gets delay including the drums ?I mostly use roland groove product aswell which its easy to add delay on anything there you just pick a patch go to effects and add how much delay you want.I have read the manual over and over and cant figure it out what I am doing wrong.

rEalm and Lynn - Thanks for the responses!
I've read that the pads are velocity sensitive - can I disable that 
function if I want? Also, how much internal memory is available? The 
MC-505 offers 50 songs, 200 patters, 250 patches, etc. How does the 
XL-7 compare? The more I hear about this thing, the more I want one.

That's because you can't.  =)

If you want a simple delay, you could copy the track, shift the time a
bit, and reduce the velocity.

If you really want effects, you'll have to learn the bussing
architecture of the XL-7.  It's not particularly intuitive, but if you
read the FAQ on this site, there's good info.

its internal memory holds plenty,  you can alsoback up your patterns on the
computer with the e loader software.
not sure about disabling velocity....i usually just grid record in the
velocity i want.

Thank you very much for the very detailed reply! Damn, you've got me 
REALLY considering buying one of these puppies. Now, where do I get 
the money? 

>>>Musician's Friend has the PX-7 for only $499 right now.  Apply for a 
credit card from them  :)  Guitar Center will match that price, and they 
currently have 12 months interest free financing if you charge it with 
their credit card :)  <<<

Hmmm.....I have one last question: when you say that the XL7 only offers 
sysex dumps for storage, you mean in addition to onboard (ie: flash) 
memory, correct? Can the XL7 also save patterns/patches/songs onboard?

>>>Yes, the XL-7 does have onboard memory of course, 300,000 notes for the 
sequencer, and up to 4 banks of 128 patches for your own sounds, 100 User 
Arps, and 100 Multi's (snapshots of global settings basically).  There's 
just no removable storage ala Smartmedia, floppy, or other. <<<

rEalm,
You mentioned the PX-7. What's that, and how does it differ from the 
XL-7? Also, I read that the XL-7 and the MP-7 are virutally 
identical, except that the XL's sounds are geared more towards 
electronica/dance, while the MP's are geared towards Hip Hop. But 
can't you just program in your own sounds? And if so, can't you use 
an XL-7 to create Hip Hop (which is the style I mainly create)? 
Thanks to everybody who replied to my posts - you've been very 
helpful.

"...100 Multi's (snapshots of global settings basically)." 

What are some of the uses people give this 'Multi' feature? I've 
never used this feature...


BTW Realm, Medalla is my band's official beer! I don't drink anymore, 
but they do seem to enjoy it... :)

The PX-7 is the newest Command Station, which ships with the Protean Drum 
ROM included, instead of the Xtreme lead or Mo Phatt ala the XL-7 and 
MP-7.  All three units are identical except for their case color, and the 
ROM inside.  You could for instance install a Mo phatt ROM in a XL-7 and 
have the same sounds as the MP-7.  And while you can of course program any 
style of music on any one of the three, each has samples that make it more 
or less suited for a particular genre.  Each ROM has different instruments 
(samples) used to create the sounds, so they are different in this 
respect.

The Protean Drum ROM in the PX-7 would be fine for hip hop though, the 
drum samples on that ROM are all new, and sound much better than any 
previous Emu drums.  I don't use a Mo-Phatt ROM, so I can't comment on if 
it would be better suited for you.

You mentioned the PX-7. What's that, and how does it differ from the 
XL-7? Also, I read that the XL-7 and the MP-7 are virutally 
identical, except that the XL's sounds are geared more towards 
electronica/dance, while the MP's are geared towards Hip Hop. But 
can't you just program in your own sounds? And if so, can't you use 
an XL-7 to create Hip Hop (which is the style I mainly create)? 
Thanks to everybody who replied to my posts - you've been very 
helpful.

- Storing controller assignments for different softsynths (Ie, a multi for 
absynth, a multi for Subtractor, a multi for SX's mixer).
- Storing MIDI/Global parameters for my various needs.  IE, I have a multi 
for when I'm using the XL-7 as a sound module with SX, when I'm remoting 
syncing it during DJ, as a master sequencer controlling an external 
sampler, as a 1 Preset at a time sound module (not multi-timbral), etc.
- Saving my current effects settings while sequencing from SX.

Tons of uses for this feature  ;)

What are some of the uses people give this 'Multi' feature? I've never 
used this feature...

rEalm,
Let me get this straight....If I were to buy any one of these three 
machines, I can just pick up ROM packages (ie: Protean Drums, 
Mo'Phatt or Xtreme Lead) and install them on my version (let's say 
the XL-7), virtually giving me all three options in one handy 
machine? That makes the MC-505 look like an absolute joke, and I LOVE 
the 505! Wow, I cannot believe I haven't heard of these machines 
before now! Does the PX-7 have bass tones/synth tones/lead tones/etc. 
installed in it, or is it simply a drum machine (unless you add the 
other ROM packages)?

The expansion capabilities of these machines are great.  You are 
correct.  I have an XL-7(XROM)with the MROM(MP-7), DROM(PX-7) and the 
POP ROM giving me all Command Station units in one box for travel 
purposes. I also have a Proteus 2000 with the Techno and Beat Garden 
ROMS(Orbit 3) and the Vintage ROM giving me the Vintage Pro, Orbit 3 
and P2K all in one shell and an XL-1 with the Pure Phatt ROM in it 
giving me 2 in 1.

It's great.

"Yeah, it has other sounds too, quite a few in fact.   You could 
easily  make complete tunes with just the Drum ROM, in fact I rarely 
even use my  XL-7 ROM anymore, preferring the Pop and Drum ROMs 
instead..."

Same here! I have the Xl-7 with the POP and Pdrums roms... I wanted 
to get an additional rom but I'm waiting for the emulatorx to come 
out since it comes with 2gigs worth of sound... The Pdrum rom does 
comes with quite a few usuable nondrums samples, but I think if you 
don't have any other modules you ought to atleast get another Rom 
with pitched instruments of your liking... 

One other thing, I know the Mophat rom and the Mp7 are not exactly 
the same... what I don't remeber was wether the person who was trying 
to reprogram the Mp7 patches to work with the Mophat rom actually got 
it to work...


BTW, thanks Realm... I'm not even remotely close to doing half the 
things you can do with you command sation! BUT, one day... One day... 
I'll get there... :)

Got mine at music 123 for $429 (b stock)

sincultura13,
When you say the Mophat ROM, is that the same as the Pure Phatt ROM? 
I was on the E-MU website, and that's the only Hip Hop ROM I could 
see for the Command Stations. You also mentioned that someone was 
trying to get the Mophat ROM to work with the patches from the MP-7, 
and that you're not sure if he ever got it to work. Is this a common 
problem with Command Stations - getting new ROMs to work with the 
machines' current system? As it stands right now, I'm likely going to 
buy the PX-7 and install the additional Pure Phatt ROM.

You would probably be better off getting the MP-7 and adding the 
Drum rom since you can get the exact rom from the Px-7 that works 
with all patterns, but not the exact rom from the MP-7. JUst 
something to keep in mind.

Tom,
You said:

"You would probably be better off getting the MP-7 and adding the
Drum rom since you can get the exact rom from the Px-7 that works
with all patterns, but not the exact rom from the MP-7. JUst
something to keep in mind."

The thing is, I don't really want the pre-made patterns - just the 
presets. I like to work from scratch (ie: not using existing 
patterns). I'm a very lazy man - if I have preset patterns to start 
with, I'll likely just use them as the basis for my tunes. :) Does 
the Pure Phatt ROM have all the same presets as the MP-7?

Same samples(instruments) different presets is my understanding. I 
have the MP-7 and have not tested the pure phatt. YOu can probably 
get the preset listings and compare @ emu.com. If you are not 
worried about the MP-7 patterns (I've been overwriting mine for 
space) then I'm sure you'll be just fine with the pure phatt.
Besides I just learned the px is silver not white, pretty cool.
