It's got a great sound, but the sequencer leaves A LOT to be desired from anyone looking for echoplex/repeater functionality in midi form. Totally Ridiculous... You can record live, switching between 16 tracks, each addressing all 32 internal midi channels, and 32 external. BUT: - there's no undo - the cut function is buried, and stops the sequencer anyway - multiply is buried and stops the sequencer - midi implementation of the sequencer, as opposed to the sound module section, is limited Emu is actively updating the OS, but at this point, I'm holding out for the next update before looking for a laptop based sequencer solution - the onboard one is built for Roland groove kiddies. As far as the sound however, YM will always V, but I think the sounds are the best I've used. They are clear and strong, without the overwrought ear candy of most Korg gear, or the tubby 'bedroom tone' of Roland. If the unit could undo, a handsonic, XL-7, the earth ROM, and a few cheaps-ass effects would be all you need to take over the planet :> ----- Original Message ----- From: "just john" <just-john@just-john.com> To: <Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com> Sent: Monday, February 11, 2002 1:09 PM Subject: Re: Handsonic looping (was Re: finally, loop NY) > >on 2/10/02 5:44 PM, just john at just-john@just-john.com wrote: > > > >> I have the Emu card of that soundset in my XL-7.
