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

Thanks Bob,

After leaving this message today, I fired up the headphones and 
listened to some drums and pads off the Beat Garden Rom. Man, I'm 
torn. I love the souds in this little beast. I hate to sell anything 
I like. Anyway, let me do some soul searching here. I haven't spent 
enough time writing patterns with this unit, thus why I decided to 
look at it first for the sell. I did go get the manual printed in 
spiral bound fashion from the pdf a few weeks ago so, I have the  
info to to learn this thing. Anyway, I'll entertain offers. Why can't 
I just hit the lottery or something like that. That would be too 
simple.  :-)

BTW, I posted a word doc in the file area. Check it out.

Bye for now,
Vic
