> Ah, so you didn't get any Papen chips?

the original px7 was the bare bones protean drums...  so i've now added the rack ears, techno synth & beats garden - both papen's efforts.

interesting - i've been looking around & its a 50% split between the 2.  which is actually good as it means that having both chips adds a lot to the command stations width.  i liked some of the sounds on the beat garden, but my jungle mate loved a lot of the sequences so looks like he'll be wanting to borrow my px7 soon!!  *lol*  i should charge rent!

i'm about to install the techno chip, but i remember that the e4xtultra had a techno cdrom which i liked, so i'm expecting a lot from this chip!


> Universal thumbs up went to Vintage Collection though. :)

i have a load of pcmcia cards for my alesis quadraynths so i have little use for the vintage card on the emu.  some of these alesis cards are worth buying a qsr for as a dedicated player - amazing quality...  again, only if you're after those kinds of sounds though!!!  hehehe...

i bought the sanctuary/gothic card for one particular sound on one track, but have used it several times since, most recently laying a string choir from the card with strings from both the yamaha sy77 & waldorf q.  the way the sounds interacted, producing more like a texture than a sound, is lovely.

i'll post some of the tunes i produce in the next couple of months - busy with alaskahighway, building332 and among the weeds.

where's my screwdriver!?
