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

The MP-7 that went for $635 had the Protean Drums ROM as well as Mo' 
Phatt, X Lead V2, & Beat Garden ROMS (plus gooseneck lamp and SPDIF 
grounding wire mod.  (See blurb below.)

As for E-Mu going soft, I think it was a little over 2 years ago 
that Creative desigated E-Mu hardware as legacy gear. (Search the 
archives here using the word "legacy.")

At present, you can still get pdf manuals and the 2003 OS at 
www.emu.com.

BLURB (from the MP-7):
This auction is for a used E-MU MP7 128 voice synthesizer, fully 
expanded with the Mo' Phatt, X Lead V2, Beat Garden, and Protean 
Drums sound roms, and updated to the latest OS version 2.0.  It is 
in excellent condition, and has been kept in a smoke free home 
studio.  Also included are the original instruction manual 
(paperback), support CD's (which include E-Loader software for 
saving and downloading songs and patterns, pdf manuals,  preset 
patterns, and OS),  a 12V gooseneck lamp, and power cord.  This unit 
still has the original plastic covering on the LED screen, and 
original box.  The only modification is a ground wire attached from 
the unit to the SPDIF output to prevent audio dropouts when using 
digital outputs.  This is a well known issue discussed in the XL-
7/MP-7 users group @ yahoo.com, and the modification was taken from 
the discussions there. I really hate to sell this unit as it is my 
last hardware synth, but I am a converted Reason user now and need 
the money and extra space in my studio.  Below is more info on this 
unit:
