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

Hi isomakcb,

Just thought I'd chime in with my opinions on your situation.  I 
don't actually have a QS, but a friend does, and I'm familiar with 
many of the sounds.

I just got a PX-7 a couple of weeks ago, and I'm quite pleased with 
it.  I've been a fan of E-mu gear for several years, and I've always 
thought that drums were the weak spot, sonically speaking.  No more.  
E-mu have finally rectified this long-standing weakness.  The PX-7 
[Protean Drums] sounds are VERY good, and should be able to address 
most styles quite well.  To put it bluntly, it swiftly kicks ass.  A 
pleasant surprise: the cymbal decays are VERY LONG and NATURAL 
sounding!  Nice!

Now, as for the Vintage ROM:

The Vintage expansion may just be the overall BEST expansion ROM E-mu 
ever made, in terms of out-of-the-box-usability, sonic diversity, 
differentness (minimum of overlap with other soundsets).  I recommend 
it very highly.  It is great, and largely underappreciated (read: not 
overused)

Buy it now, while you still can.  (Anyone know what's going on with E-
mu and the availability of their product line?)

(all too dated for my taste)
