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

Ooops... Sorry I was so into you live set, banging rhytms with my fingers 
on the comp's keyboard, that hit enter by mistake! Bro' I like this set a 
lot better than the other one I heard, which was pretty cool to begin 
with. I like the way you leave space in the mix, I tend to cramp layers of 
sounds that sometime don't contribute anything to the song.... 

>>>It can be hard to leave space in a mix for things to breath, I'm 
notorious for having really complex songs like that when I make them on 
the PC.  With the XL-7, it's a little easier to use restraint though, if 
for no other reason than I can't rely on dynamics processing to make it 
all sit better in the song!  Anyway, glad you liked it. <<<

The only problem that I have is that it takes to long to download. I 
started listen to it like an hour ago 
and I've onle heard 34% of it...

>>>Sorry about that, outta my hands. ,<<

Now If I could use the riffs on the xx-7 roms (BTW I read the manual in 
this respect and didn't 
find how to copy the patterns to use with other sounds...) 

>>>You can connect a MIDI cable from the XL-7's MIDI out to it's MIDI in 
and record them to a track that way.  Might need to shidt the MIDI data 
forward slightly to compensate for the transmition timing, but it's 
certianly doable. <<<

I've found choosing sounds for the patterns on the XL7 rather tedious 
'cause it's the sounds what usually inspires me to bang the rhythms out... 


>>>Yep that's I love the Randomize Preset feature on the XX-7's <<<

I'd rather have all the hits in one track or just use the presets... You 
said that the presets on the rom drum are good to go, so if I could find 
some good groove templates it'd be for me just as good as getting 
Stylus...What do you think?

>>>There's a ton of MIDI drum templates out there, in all kinds of styles. 
 Do a search on "MIDI drum files" and you'll probably find more than you 
can shake a stick at (what the hell does that mean anyway?). <<<
