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

Hi all,

    I was curious how many dash-7 users are on this list right now, 
so I created a poll. So far, there are 11 of us, three of which are 
emu reps, which I figure is just about the right ratio of users to 
builders :>

    Let us all know. Perhaps a little intro would be cool too. Here's 
mine:

    I'm using my new toy to write groovy downtempo music, and 
jungle'n bass. monkeyradio.net / somafm.com / bassdrive.com sounds.

    The xl-7 works as the master clock for an echoplex digital pro, 
which I feed from my chapman stick ( www.stick.com ) - what I really 
play. This way, I can lay down basslines melodies and grooves, 
overdub, extend the loops and mangle them with effects, while keeping 
in time with grooves I'm building on the pads and drums from the xl.

    I quit my band last night - it wasn't going where I wanted :< 
Rather than look for band mates right away, which hasn't seemed to 
work lately, I think I'm going to start playing out on my own (gulp), 
now that I can. (Hi guys, I just bought this shiny box that does a 
better job than the three of you... :>))

    Since the architecture is the same as the P2k, which I recently 
owned, and was writing on, the process of writing a cool set is 
shortened considerably - the maps over directly, though a few patches 
are missing.  (I also nabbed the P2k ROM before I sold it - selling 
it as a XL- 1 turbo with a P2k faceplate.) I'm hoping to start 
looking for gigs by October. I'll probably get sidetracked.

    (Yes, an all singing, all dancing music machine; all I need now 
is a bass drum strapped to my back, a harmonica, and cymbals tied to 
my knees... Watch out.)
