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

Okey, here's a weird one. But remember, only because it's weird, it's 
not bad and unrealistic.

I guess there's a couple of us who owns the XX-7 or Proteus 2500 that 
uses it as their main sequencer. I do.

Sometimes I miss the visual overview of a software sequencer, the LCD 
screen is basically way too small to show the info I need. A piano 
roll interface would be useful while in Step mode... Perhaps 
something that shows the curves of controller changes [and so on].

This would of course require a bigger "screen". But building a new 
one to plug in to the XX-7 would probably be way too expencive. So 
(and here comes the weird part) why not use something that already 
exists. Perhaps a Gameboy? (Yes, it's crazy). Their new system has 
65535 color screen and of course ability to connect it to other 
devices, and such stuff, and with some programming it might be fully 
possible to connect one to the XL-7 and use it's screen for visual 
overview.

Okey, I don't really know if it's possible, but at least it could be 
a nice solution. I would buy it for sure.

(And please, don't reply telling me that this post is completley 
stupid or something, because that, I already know)

I think so too :))

Well they do have a USB port, they could hook it up to a USB flatscreen and
keyboard ALA Macintosh...
