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

Thanks for your insights, Duncan. Your real-life sampler experiences 
help to put the puzzle together for me.  I will try to check out the 
authoring guide.

Though I am still purplexed as to why the P123 [Protozoa ROM] has no 
sampler presets on it, fortunately my package also came with the 
Proteus 4000 disk (which does have P123 samples and presets for the 
sampler, as well as vintage and orbit samples and presets).

If I had spare time, I might try to figure out the EOS preset 
structure, compare it to the P2K preset structure, and try to 
emulate some presets.  But for now, I am just trying to sketch ideas 
for building a "Good Sax" Bank where velocity switching plays a big 
role.

Thanks to others, too, for insights on the question of What Exactly 
is on the Sound ROM (and how is it structured)? Additional thoughts 
would be appreciated.
