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

Yea,  that's me,  I thought the handle was familiar.
did you send me a cd a few weeks ago?
anyway,  well back to the command info I guess.

at the moment I am working with a 
virusA,MPC,FR777,microkorg,em-1,tg-33 all at the home studio.  
more goodies at the project studio...
nord 3, some crazy mono synths, and a sherman to make odd samples 
with and plenty of samples.  so I have plenty of smaller toys to get 
rid of but I want to make sure it is replaced by something with power 
and substance.  I also want to be able to free flow compose and not 
have to load a ass-load of samples first just to get started.

creating my own sounds has never been an issue.  I just need more to 
start with. Im not so concerned with the market its aimed at,  but 
more for its capability of putting out "big" sound "real" sound if 
worked with.

from what I read by you I think I can,  I plan on going to the local 
GC on Friday and sit with it a bit.

Thanks Realm,
"A"
