A sampler is the only thing standing between this being an industry standard rather than the mpc. It has tons of buttons and knobs to tweaks sounds, and the ability to mute and umute tracks on the fly. It also has a really cool touch strip which I find to very useful.

Price paid: 352 USD

UTILIZATION

Aside from the manual which takes a master's degree to understand. The machince its self is very easy to navigate. Most if not all the functions become second nature within a couple of hours of use. Thank god since the manual is so useless. It's one of the most transparent machines out there when it come to getting your ideas out quickly.

SOUNDS

Nice basses, good synths, pianos are kinda weak, but overall the presets are very nice. Plus there is and onboard chorus seperate from the rest of the effects to fattening up your sound.

OVERALL OPINION

The quality of the mp7 seems very good. I haven't had it long enough to make a fair judgement yet, but haven't had any problems yet.

I would have to this is one machine i would nevr part with. My only wish is for emu to come out with a sampler version of this machine. That would leave every other drum machine maker trembling
