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

Hey,

I've put together a little "stealth rig" for doing small shows, and I'm thinking of maybe 
keeping the XL-7 in the studio and getting a second device for gigs.  The Korg Electribe's 
come up... esx-1 kind of looks cool but it might be just that silly exposed tube.

Anyway, I want something that's smaller then the XL-7, but has seperate outputs for 
instruments that can be played with velocity sensitive keys.  Something with a different but 
equally good soundset would be sweet.  Any suggestions or should I just haul out the XL
-7 because everything else sucks?

i have ER1 and EA1
ER1 respondes to velocity but the sequencer only has 2 velocities [accent]
the EA1 doesnt respond to velocity, and the sequencer do not have any 
velocity features, not even accent. Im not shure whats about ES1MKII, i 
guess there is no velocity option either...

That's stupid.  Same with the Roland gear.  I got rid of my MC-307 for that reason 
(amoung others).  Upon listening to Korg's mp3 samples, I've got to say that they do little 
for me.  SO generic sounding.

So I guess that answers my question.  The XL-7 is "it."  Weird there is only one groovebox 
type device out there with velocity sensitive keys.  You'd think by this point that would be 
standard.  So, although it's going to make my micro rig a bit more macro, I guess it's a 
small price to pay for the functionality and features of the E-MU gear.

The ER1 does not sound generic at all..... its a beast!

Compare the Akai MPC-1000.

Isn't the MPC-1000 a totally different animal?  Actually I realize I have no idea exactly what 
it is even after just reading about it on the Akai site.  Is it essentially like an XL-7 but 
without ROM?  That actually sounds pretty tasty.

Kinda, it's a sampling sequencer, where as the Command Stations are a 
synthesizing sequencer.  I think the MPC1000 is pretty cool if you need a 
small portable sequencer/sampler.
