I have this feeling that the CS is the only piece of Emu hardware you've ever owned..
Call it intuition.. or a sixth sense if you will.
Let me enlighten you, turd. Anything after the EIII is not real Emu. Dave and Scott lost the company due to the cost of manufacturing the EIII which ran about $16K for the 8 meg model. Do you have one of those? Have you ever heard one? Played one? Or fixed one? I didn't think so. You wouldn't even know how to turn one on. You big huge E-MU fan, you.
After Emu went bankrupt after producing the EIII and Creative taking them over.. Manufacturing went from made in the USA in small numbers to made in China, almost overnight. And so did the ideas and engineering. Creative rode on the coat tails of the Emu name and logo. EIII put them out of business. It's regarded as the best sounding sampler ever made by some people. And their most expensive machine to manufacture. Imagine 16 outputs with 16 low pass SSM 4-pole filters in one box (same filters as the Waldorf Wave) You probably don't know what that means though right? while Akai was making machines at 1/4th the price. So how did we go from real machines to mass produced toys in florescent silly colors in about 10 years or so with the same logo? Easy, Creative's marketing plan for producing modules and ROMS that completely overlapped each other by about 25% with the same voices was brilliant. They rode that wave all the way to the end of the line... the CS. And they sold a crap ton of them and roms. Well, Bruno, you're part of that camp. The camp that doesn't have a clue about any of the above. Way to do your homework and have a clue. Or care in the world about the history and lineage of what you're using which is even more nauseating and pathetic.
Bruno, I'm embarrassed for you after what you wrote. No one will ever take you seriously after that one on the board. Because you put all your cards on the table for everyone to see of what little you actually do know. I guess it's OK for some people to be a happy-go-lucky idiot where ignorance is bliss. But hey, you knock yourself out with your "loaded" XROM in MP7 enclosure. How adorable :) Don't try any harder than that. Cool?
Back to my Emulator III before bed.

Look, we're not "incredibly passionate about a box that doesn't even
count in real world of Emu hardware". I really don't give a shit about
what color is tits and badass, and why yellow is not that color.
Actually, for me it is. Too bad I have XROM in MP7 enclosure, dammit.
I really don't care about how analog are my filters, how much grittier
is 11-and-a-half bit sampling compared to everything else. I treat my
oblivion regarding to what counts in real world of Emu hardware as a
bliss, that helps me to focus on the two most important things,
associated with my Command Station:
- making music, and
- having fun while doing this.
I find here a bunch of guys incredibly passionate about discovering
more possibilities, squeezing the orange juice out of XL7 in order to
get more things done. They aren't busy polishing their enclosures or
swapping the LCDs, since they're mostly busy making actual sounds,
rather than pimping themselves with some transcendent classical gear
full of Emu-nence.
And you know what? They are awesome and helpful. Not only they will
help one to solve a problem, but will start to resonate and give some
inspiration. And I don't mean an inspiration to buy a new piece of
gear, that - who would expect - they are selling just now on eBay...
Wish you days of fun with real, gritty, analog, blue LCD, bling bling
madafaka 15-bit shuffling.
