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

hey Nick, thanks for the tip on the beat garden ROM.  From the 
description of your music, it sounds like you know exactly what I'm 
looking for.  Pure sounds that are ripe for mangling would be great-- 
I don't mind tweaking them.  But I'd prefer that they start out on 
the spacey/creepy side-- rather than having to heavily modify bright 
poppy synth sounds.

So do you have any stuff online I could check out?
R

manipulate these sounds heavily in software synths/ableton live, so 
this may not be what you are looking to do.  I can tell  you that the 
beat garden rom has some excellent sounds that are nice and "pure;" 
perfect for further mangling.  Another thing I have noticed is that 
the drum sounds on these ROMs are just phenomenal.  The beat garden 
drums are begging to be put into trip hop and minimal stuff.  I 
highly recommend it.
