RE: Emu_PROTEUS 2500
They are the same the same engine, same sequencer etc... with different sound sets. and the MP-7 has swishy purple graphics and ugly end caps if you don't rack it...
that's the only difference.
The sequencer in these things is nice, but a bit cumbersome... copy and paste is done in a really different way than any other sequencer I've seen! And they are geared at the dance market with 4/4 being the only resolution... ... ... but I've used my XL-7 (same thing but yellow, with a techno-ish soundset) live a few time now, and it's a great piece of kit!
BUT BUT BUT...
The clock on these things is off a bit! As long as the Emu is the only sequencer there's no worries, but it is not truly in time... and has to be synced to an external clock to get it to work nicely with other clocks!
