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

Thanks for the background and details, ferrograph; thanks to others 
who chimed in, including Aaron, with his helpful background and 
technical info.

I am glad you mentioned the e5k ultra. I just bought one (it hasn't 
arrived yet), but with the high price of burnable/authorable E-MU 
sampler ROMS, I am not sure I will miss that feature. (It does 
include the Protozoa ROM, which I had been wanting for years to 
replace my P1+Orchestra XR).

I had been wondering about using my Siedlaczek ROM (which says 32 MB 
Sound Flash Sound ROM), but I see (thanks to Aaron's explanation), 
that's not possible--even if I got a sampler that could burn.

BTW, a Seidlaczek ROM just went for $260. (And I thought only the 
World ROM and the Protean Drums commanded high prices!)

Follow up question for those of you who own/do stuff with E4 and 
related gear: Are there groups (like this one) you'd recommend?

Thanks.
