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

Well the command station's voices have never
been that hardware sounding to my ears.  Kinda thin
and weedy sounding.  So I figured if it's gonna be
thin than just use Ableton.  But we are talking to
a person who uses an sp1200 and an emulator II.
So thin means different things to different people
I guess.  The roms have always been weak sauce
for synth sounds.  Some of the drum tones are usuable
in beat garden and the protean px7 stick.
