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

The requests for OS updates got me thinking about how this machine could be even more useful.
 If I had some inkling of what was going on inside the head of the guys who programmed the sounds,
I would better be able to approach programming myself.  For instance, take a few of the nicer
patches, from simple to way complex, and go through a "tutorial" about how the patch was obtained.
 Like:

     "... I started with this instrument sound on layer 1 and modified it with an envelope going
to the filter resonance which gave it a certain bite.  Then I added another instrument on layer 2
at a reduced amplitude setting, modulating the amp with two different LFO's with triangle and
random outputs to get that "warbly" sound.  Then I ran a patchcord from the output of the
discombobulator into the wazoo of the Fritzenschaller to give it that funky retro lo-fi quality
that sounds like Jimmy Page riding a Tonka truck"...

     You get the picture.  Even just a few patch descriptions would go a long way towards helping
someone like me understand the bigger picture.  While I understand in theory most of what's going
on within the architecture of the machine, a few practical examples would go a long way towards
allowing me to see the bigger picture.

     While I'm at it, I would also request some sound editing software specifically for the
Proteus series of Rompler, which of course would include the XX-7.  This is perhaps the greatest
support that Emu could give to the thousands of sound module users out there.  A nice graphical
interface would do much of what I'm asking for in the first part of this letter.

     Thanks Emu, and keep up the great work.
