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

I find it currious that emu "chose" to update the os.  the current os 
is still quite buggy, but this machine has the option to go in the 
books as the best machine for the job.  I bought my machine with the 
understanding (from EMU) that the OS would be updated and features 
would be added.  While I am very thrilled that they are going to go 
on with another update, it worries me that they would just drop us 
current Command Station owners to make the XX-7's go down in history 
the same way the asr-x did. 

I respect EMU and their products.   They have some of the best 
soundsets out there.  And I'm glad they have 'decided' to further 
support their products.  I am worried, however, that in these times, 
as hard as they are, they may have difficulty surviving around ROLAND 
and KORG.  But I have confidence that they can be as big or bigger 
than these brand names.  

Peace...
