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

I have just started exploring the potential for using the E-Mu 
sequencer with the Proteus-X.
(1) Has anyone done anything with this, and if so, do you want to 
share tips/thoughts/working modalities/etc.?
(2) Is anyone here interested in discussing this here?

If anyone else is interested:
(1) www.emu.com is still offering Proteus XV - a free, lite version 
that doesn't need an e-mu/creative card or midi interface to work. 
All you need to do is sign up for an e-mail newsletter.
(2) The basic concept is to use the sequencer to drive an external 
sound source; in this case, the external sound source is software.
(3) The artist formerly known as rEalm has a suggested list of 
settings to optimize Windows as a software-based music machine. (I 
found these helped with Proteus-X, VSTs, DXis, and SynthEdit.)
(4) You can import (with the right equipment) EIII and EIV (EOS) banks

If no one else is interested, that's OK with me. I just thought I'd 
mention it.
