Hi Steve, 

I've put some answers below.

If you've added other samples that's fine.

As above, the bulk of the sounds should come from the Command Station or P2500, with any roms that are available

> (3) Are tunes that also contain other non-E-Mu gear OK as long as the tunes make major use of CS/P2500? 
Yes. If there is that much sound comming from other sources that the Command station sound is coloured or not recognized then it's probably not much good to other users. I started the group mainly so users could share their creations, get feedback, and see the possibilities of their units waiting to be discovered in their CS's. I included the P2500 as it's essentially the same minus the pads and ribbon controller.

> (4) What is the maximum upload time for a tune? 
This is linked to your soundcloud account, as you are only sharing to the group. There is no limit as far as I know for group submissions. 

> (5) Is Soundcloud still free, or is it only by susbcription/fee now?Yes still free, but getting a lite account gives you much more benefits.

> (6) Other than comments on the tracks, is it possible to have a description of each piece in Soundcloud? 
Yes, when uploading tracks you can add a description, which people can read if you click on the track title.

If you've used non-emu gear or older emu stuff for certain sounds, just explain it in the track description.
