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

I always found that Midi Yoke & Ztracker were pretty solid.  thought 
the interface is made for a programmer, it's quite versitile ....  
For a hardware sequencer, check out the (becomming vintage) Alesis 
MMT-8 ---  They're pretty solid if you can get one with a fresh OS 
installed.

as for synching up i dont deal with that at all,  just spent alot of 
cash to get off the computer once and for all.  But when looking for 
midi controllers I would have to recomend you look at doepfer.  They 
have dedicated controllers with up to 64 knobs!!! and thats all 
thats on em.  

what more could you want?!

I use my XL-7 with a PC all the time (mostly Cubase though) and it syncs 
fine.  Not sure about using triggers to do the track thing in Reason 
though, seems feasible.

Is anyone out there using a pc with their xx-7? I'm just about to add a 
laptop running Reason and/or Live to my truly ridiculous one man rig.  Any 
advice?

I was thinking of using the triggers on the xl-7 to control tracks in 
reason, though 16 is a rather paltry number. Any suggestions on a 
supplementary controller - for the xl-7 as well as the pc?
