i'm thinking of using my xl7 just to sequence my sampler on 32 channels

is this easy enough?

i guess it's just a matter of buying a lot of sample cds and stocking
up my samplers hard drive

just an idea

a good one?

The XL7 does two "main" things for me-

1) sequencing- I will use the onboard drums and an occasional weird pad or  
something- but for the most part it just sequences to a sampler and a  
couple outboard synths.  The XL7 rompler is among the most powerful  
around, but for me it's almost too powerful- 10 different filters and 4  
layers with all those mod capabilities just make my head hurt- i usually  
end up hitting "random" over and over and just listen to what comes out  
when I use it for its sounds.

2) FX: the outboard sampler and synths run back in to the XL7 and hit the  
FX (these are old synths with no fx) so I can smack em with distortion and  
reverb.

So yeah- as a hardware sequencer, in my opinion it's pretty untouchable.

You can use the Internal fx on the Command station on other gear?

You know- I might be confused-
I can't remember now if the subout returns hit pre or post FX-
I've been moving things around, and will report back when I hook  
everything back up-

i'd check myself but the only bit of my gear i have atm is my mp-7. thanks

I'm fairly sure that the send-returns are post-FX.
So you can't use the command station effects on external synths.

Otherwise you'd be able to get the external inputs on the digital out,
which would be rad.

Yeah, the send/return jacks are inserted after everything.  As such they're completely dry.  They're simply analog summing conveniences.

You know- I might be confused-
I can't remember now if the subout returns hit pre or post FX-
I've been moving things around, and will report back when I hook  
everything back up-
