XL-7
XL-7 Command Station
The new XL-7 takes the synth engine of
E-MU®'s powerful Proteus® 2000 and XL-1
sound modules and combines it with a new
grooving Multi track Sequencer. The XL-7 is
equipped with a one octave, velocity
sensitive key pad with aftertouch, a touch
strip and an arsenal of control knobs,
buttons and switches. The sounds are
designed for Electronica/High Energy Dance
styles and can easily be expanded via the
XL-7's additional ROM slots. The XL-7 is a
Table top groove station/musical monster
that can also be easily rack mounted into a
6-space rack. The XL-7 provides you with 512 presets, 128 voice
polyphony, 128 Factory
Sequences with hundreds of user locations, dual effects processors
and 3 extra expansion
slots that can be fitted with any of the Proteus 2000 library
of ROMs. The XL-7 is also a
dynamic MIDI controller that offers you the ability to work with
external MIDI devices via its
Sequencer, Arpeggiators, Controller Knobs, Trigger button section
and Key Pad. The XL-7
sets the standard for what a professional Dance groove instrument
should be.
