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

I don't do any live gigging, but I can try and answer some other  
questions...

I'm pretty sure the going price for a xl-7 is $499, I just got my PX-7  
for that price, and bought the x lead-v2 rom for it.  I think zzounds  
has it for 499...

I don't know too much about the roms, but for dance/techno/trance, I  
think that probably the only roms worth looking at are the pure phatt,  
beat garden, and vintage modules.

The other hardware I have (as far as synths go anyway) are:
yamaha cs1x (my first "real" synth) - I like some of the sounds on it,  
but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone
alesis qs-r (with the latin expansion, I'm considering the eurodance  
one)
novation ks-4 - mmmm
alesis airsynth - I use this for adding "effects" to songs, and there's  
one song where I'm using it as a primary instrument

I definitely recommend a compressor of some sort (i have an alesis  
3630.)  and a kaoss pad would be super cool for live effects (just have  
that channel go out one of the sub outs)
and you'd be able to use that as a midi controller too.
