XL-7
2001
An MPC-style desktop sequencer/sound module using the same sample-playback synthesis engine as the Proteus 2000. Its 32MB sound ROM is based on the X-Lead expansion ROM but carries 329 different presets (versus 318 on X-Lead v1.4), with more "kits" type presets compared to the more "beats"-oriented original X-Lead. Part of E-MU's Command Station family alongside the MP-7.
