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

Hello Sean,

Thanks for your kindly email, a pleasure to have you here :)

I am a professional dj and producer of electronic music and my all favorite piece of gear is an EMU MP7 with a XL7 rom that I use in the studio but also live. Also some of my producers friends have Proteus modules and Command stations.

I love EMU and the history of the gear was made, the music I love was done with a lot of EMU equipment! Too bad the company didnt continued the legacy...

Amazing that we have in herr the designer of Command stations cause from a few years there is a discution on this XL7 yahoo group regarding the making of a custom flash rom for our command stations and emu modules (ex Orbit 3), so we can load our own samples and midi phrases, eventually in a easy manner with usb connected to our computers.

So the problem was that flash roms need it to be setup and write in a EMU sampler, also a big problem is there are no flash roms left in the market and when appear on ebay they are so expensive… you see maybe 1-2 every year...

Actually one of the yahoo group users worked a little bit in this direction and he started to emulate the board, you have a pictures attached with his try. His name is Jack Pratt, I will forward also the original threat.

As you see attached his rom is similar to the original but the problem is he was stucked in the process of learning the pcb characteristics and the software logics of the roms. He got the ideea to make somehow a computer editor and write the flash roms with our own samples and then move them thru usb in the devices.

The group has more that 2000 members, most of them requested this every month and they will be amazed and will buy those things, also a lot of guys on gearslutz and also a lot of DJs and producers friends of mine will be on the buyer list so surely will be a lot of customers for something like this with a lot of financial potential 😊 Those synths are still used in studios and make them open to new custom wav sounds and midi will made them used many years from now! The synth engine and those filters are the best in a digital device!�

So in behalf of the yahoo group and of all the owners of this devices I ask you if you want to join this idea and help us creating those flash roms so we can keep the legacy of those amazing machines alive 😊 Maybe the solution for you is much easier 😊

Thanks you so much

George
