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

Sorry to hear about that ...I had the misfortune to discover that 
those units are not reliable at all (at least mine and some other 
ones i know too !)...Feels like it was built to crash just after 
warranty time has expired, so you had luck in some kind of way... Now 
the worst thing is : Even though i can repair it myself, E-mu will 
never give me any schematic to do so, instead they want me to send it 
far away and be charged the maximum....So my question is : HEY E-mu!! 
are you selling top-secret military weapons ? or do you just want to 
steal more money from me ? Anyway, now i know one thing for sure : I 
will NEVER EVER buy a f*cking piece of gear with the name E-mu on 
it !
