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

Just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents-
I started 4 yrs. ago mixing loops on my Playstation before I aquired any serious 
equipment. I found the Music Generator for the PStation quite useful for learning drum 
beats, note placement, ect.  I have no formal music training, just an apprieciation for 
music.  I'm still learning and have a long way to go.  The bottom line is that I enjoy the hell 
out of what I'm doing- even if it is frustrating (or sucks).

If you want to listen to some stuff I did a year ago, click on my yahoo profile and go to my 
briefcase.  It pretty much sucks, but I'll share it anyway.  The two tracks, Myne and Adam 
r-Ants were done on the PStation- watch the volume if you listen to  Adam r-Ants.(There's 
lots of profanity.)  The riffs used on Adam r-Ants are from an Apollo 440 song.  The Test 
Recording track was done using my RM1x along with my weak attempt at guitar. ( was 
testing my friend's digital recorder)   That was the last thing I did before getting my PX-7 
in January.

I certainly can relate to what you're saying.

Best of luck to you.
Mike
