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

The popularity of softsynths was probably a major factor in killing E-mu's hardware synth line.  It's a shame on many levels, but it's true, "obsolescence is key" if you collect physical gear.

There is not one softsynth that will ever be "collectible" (or even usable in a few years)

In my home studio, other gear may come and go, but I will always own at least ONE E-mu synth.  They will always be classic in my mind.  (and none of those Japanese synths can even touch the elegant design of the user interface, IMO)

My PX-7 with WORLD, VINTAGE, and POP ROMs is staying right where it is, permanently.  What a great, great little box!
