Re: Is MP7 ROM worth $60?

2004-06-15 by dwoodaman

I have the pure phatt ROM, which is I believe the same as the MP7 ROM
- unless someone can correct me on this - and I like the drum kits
they have some clever routings for modulation and I think crisper
sounds than my XL7. The $60 is way better than what I paid for me.
Still, there is a lot of weird stuff in there I can't/won't use - I am
a guitar player, so all those samples are worthless to me, that and
the vocals too, worthless.
But still, for $60 bones....
