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

Just wondering, why would someone do this? What kind of functionality would be added by modifying the gear?

I do have a broken UltraProteus that cannot receive midi. Other than that, the synth engine and display seems perfect. If I could somehow modify it to accept/generate data comparable to what comes via midi, I'd be willing to try some mods.

Have you done mods?
