I have been using the emu with just about anything and everything i have a Roland sp808 sampler i load sounds from other gear which i don't tour with and records and such into the sp-808 usually as loops or drums and trigger from the emu, but the clock is slaved on the sp-808. and sometimes i use it with a kaoss pad kp3 also which i can sequence xy motion with the emu.
I use beats mode all the time and also the drum arps which rock.
I use effects on the insert jacks stereo so i don't need a mixer and can use the sampler effects on a send and kp3 on another send. Then i run everything thru alesis nanocompressor in stereo (the black one) and control my gain/compression before it hits the PA.
I been doing drum n bass and house, acid, minimal techno, and hip hop, experimental, and dustep also. i perform live on stage at various parties festivals and raves and clubs in and around San Francisco.
Messed with mpc500 for a bit didn't like the stop start workflow. And electribes aren't precise enough with editing and such or have the arp features of the emu.
32 channels of internal external midi on 16 different tracks plus arps and beats mode is beast.

I enjoyed the music, too.
I haven't made music in several months, but this thread is inspiring me to want to carve out some time in a couple of months to do some all E-Mu music. I tend to mix my E-Mu with other gear, but it might be a fun challenge to just use E-Mus. (Since my main E-Mu is the P2500, I'd probably have to rely on a non-E-Mu keyboard as a controller.)
Anyone else up for taking an All E-Mu Challenge?
