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

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you're right.  Emu's days as a hardware manufacturer 
are pretty much over, the PX-7 will be the last one is my guess.  Not 
really Emu's fault though, Creative pulls the strings over there and I 
know the Emu guys are probably just as upset about it as we are.  I read 
on the Sonic State forums that most of their Musical Instruments 
department was laid off earlier this year, they've just been hush hush 
about it.  Don't know if that's true, but my guess is it probably is.  All 
I can say is that we were VERY, VERY lucky to get OS 2.0, and everyone 
here has Aaron and Sean to thank for that.

ROMs?  Get 'em while you can, cause once they're gone... (BTW, the World 
Expeditions are already gone).

What's in store for the future?  My guess is more software like other 
people mentioned, I know Winter Namm should have some nice surprises in 
store.  Given the state of modern day piracy, my only hope is that they 
don't tie the software into a SB card to prevent this.  Just speculation 
though.

        Subject:        [xl7] Does anyone know what's going on at EMU?


  I'm beginning to see the dreaded model number (ex. model 9119)
appearing next to a number of EMU devices on websites like zzounds. 
I've noticed over the years that once these numbers start popping up,
that particular product is discontinued not long afterwards.  Also,
their sound rom colections seems to be getting smaller by the month. 
Rumour has it Creative is phasing out most of the EMU hardware to
concentrate on software development.  Any one have any real ideas on
what's happening?
