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

Word to this.
Dnb is a genre of music that uses the instruments in a whole  different way.  Your basically using them in a way that was never intended (dark, rugged, distorted, beafy sounds.  loud bangin drums..etc..)
 
If what you want is amens, then the xx-7 is not the machine.  I make dnb, but preffer to make my own beats (that I personally think sound excellent) (using protean, mo-phatt, and x-lead).  So if what you want is ragga jungle or that real old mashed up sound, get a software program.  Amens are all sample based..
 
The xx-7 imo is a machine that does take dnb to another level.  No one thought this machine would suite my needs prior to investing in it.  I've had it for about 3-4 months and I'm making the stuff I've always wanted to hear, but no one makes... (which is why I even started to produce) 
 
So, like everyone says, "It's not what you got, but how you use it"
Look outside of the box. Any good dnb/jungle can be made with just a simple beat kit and a few sounds with some knobs.  I personally have learned that you can't take other people's advice when it comes to hardware.  Try it, test it out, and see if it suites your needs.
 
Hope this helps.  
Peace

It seems that doing "inappropriate" jungle might be just the way to 
breathe some life into it.

I hate the whole microgenre musical pigeonhole thing myself. Screw 
the taxonomists, do what sounds good to YOU.
