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

i have an empty space in my rack, and it's calling to me... one of the 
things that i though about filling it with is a virus-rack.

i haven't yet explored the synth engine of the xl7, and it'll be a few 
weeks at least before i have a chance to dig around in it, so.... is 
anyone here a current or former virus owner? how does the xl7 compare?

right off the top, the virus is ostensibly a virtual analog synth, and the 
xl7 seems more like a rompler. but i'm wondering if i could use some 
"basic" waveforms, a few layers, some virtual patch-cords, and some midi 
CC controllers and roll my own virtual analog patches...? i'm confident 
that i can get good sounds out of it, but can it compete with a virus on 
the the merits of the virus?

i only have one ROM slot in my xl7 filled, and i think it's the XL ROM.
