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

Hmm, had an interesting idea for a new EMu product that would compliment 
the XX-7's nicely.  What about a small dedicated sample playback unit for 
use with the Command Stations (call it the SP12 or something) ?  Say a 
half rack size unit that has the very minimum of connectors.  On the back, 
MIDI IN and THRU, USB, power connector, and maybe 6 outputs.  The front 
would have MIDI indicators, a volume knob, and maybe a 2 line LCD for the 
most basic of info.  The top would have a small panel you could remove to 
add more memory DIMM's.

It would be for use with a software interface in order to set up your 
samples, do all your looping and keymapping etc.  Basically, it would be a 
really cheap, and portable sample playback unit.  Similiar specs as say a 
low end Emu rack sampler, but without the onboard control and expansion 
options to lower the price.  All you'd need to do is set up your samples 
via spftware, then transfer them to the box for when you want to play out 
live.

Yes, I'm daydreaming I know....

Nice rEalm, but I was thinking more along the lines of a controller.  
Launch Pad 2 perhaps?  Keys instead of pads, 2 or 3 octave range, 
knobs-knobs-knobs and trigger buttons galore...............

Why not just buy a old 'low end Emu rack sampler', like an ESI or akai
s1000? You can have that now instead of dreaming, and for cheap :>
