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

That's a shame.  I hate all that complete info Mibrilane wrote to go to waste so maybe we should put it in some form in the files section........

Subject: [xl7] Re: EMU ROM Boards

Mibrilane,
Thank you for the excellent info here. Actaully I was compiling a 
list of the boards as I am more than likely going to sell my XL-7. I 
had bought 3 roms from EMU last year befor they discontinued them. I 
was confused as one of the ROM's comes up QROM. It must be the sounds 
of the ZR board  beacuse it has Perfect Piano in it Anyway I know I 
had purchased Beat Garden and the Sounds of the ZR. The last of the 3 
was another I am confused about. I think it is the Composer ROM (It 
is named CMPSR). Originally I was just going to use the XL-7 as 
another Midi sound module. (Thus the Roms I bought.) I find myself 
not really using this piece much as I bought a new work station last 
year and a couple V/A modules. Also, doing quite a bit with software 
in my compositions these days. And, I could use the money to boot.

All said and done. I was going to compile my prices off Ebay's 
current and sold listings. Looks like out of my Rom's, the most 
valuable one I have is Beat garden. 

I'm working with an interested party locally But, Thought I'd throw 
this info out here to see if anyone is interested. 

Here is what I will be selling:
Xl-7 with manual and goose neck lamp (Mint cond)
Composer Rom- 
Sounds of the ZR Rom
Beat Garden Rom

If anyone is interested, drop me a line at luvmyhonda2 @ yahoo.com
(don't forget to remove the spaces in the e-mail address). I'm a 
strong Ebayer with 100% postive feedabck. Feedback profile of 94. I 
can take Paypal. Thought I'd hit up the group first. We can do a 
straight Paypal deal or, I could do a private Ebay auction. Would 
prefer straight Paypal however. Saves me a nickel. 

Anyway, thanks again for the list.

Take Care,
Vic
