Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

Hmm, well you're comparing vastly different things, but I can see your 
point with them being the same price.  Here's my take on it:

- Stylus. The big attraction here is the sheer quantity of samples you 
get, over 3GB if I remember correctly.  Most of them are very good for 
sure, Eric Pershing is an ace sound designer.  The downside is that you're 
more or less stuck with using the loops as is (minus the synth section) 
unless you export them as audio files and then slice and dice them.  Also, 
in order to use them, you need run the plug in from with in a computer 
sequencer, so partability's out.

- Protean Drum ROM.  While you don't get anywhere near the amount of 
samples as with Stylus (only 32MB), you do get nice and easy intregration 
with the XX-7, and quality acoustic drum samples.  So it's easy to just 
fire up the box and get working right away.  Not to mention you won't be 
tied into the computer either, which may or may not be an issue for you.

Personally, I think it all somes down to the way you're more comfortable 
working.  If you typically work in the PC and prefer that way or working, 
then Stylus may be the better choice.  However if you like working on 
hardware more, than I would say the Drum ROM would be a better choice.

I just came across this plug called stylus that comes with 3 gigs of 
drum loops/sounds (mostly breakbeats/hiphop kinda sounds which suites 
me just fine but also precussion loops and what not....) and a groove 
control feature that lets you freely rearrange and strech loops 
without sound degradetion... The price is about the same as Emu's 
drum rom. I was almost sold on the idea of the drum rom but this 
Stylus plugs sounds tempting too....


Is anyone willing to give pros/cons for each of the options? 


thanks in advance.
