Yeah, I'm kinda on the same page.  Cool looking rack module, nice retro 
vibe and all.  But do we REALLY need more emulations of old analog gear? I 
swear you'd think by now there'd be samples of everything ever released 
already done.  :)  Blasphemy I know.

I wish someone would come out with a ROM that focused on sound effects, 
noises or weird textures.  Just some plain crazy stuff that's DIFFERENT 
for a change, and isn't aimed at a particular genre.  That new Atmosphere 
plug in/sample pack is getting pretty close, but still not there.  I'd 
love to get my hands on some fucked up, twisted sound as a ROM.  Something 
that people will look at and go "whoa, that new Emu module is pretty cool, 
so different!".  No more emulations which don't cut it anyway!

Not that impressed, actually.

I downloaded the manual: the Instruments list looks a lot like the 
1994 Vintage (SR-JV80-04) expansion board for Roland JV/XP/XV synths,
except it has drums (the Roland does not) and -it seems- no Yamaha CS-80
waves (the Roland does and it's good). Doh.

But do we need 808/909 kits AGAIN on an expansion board, seriously?
What about Linndrums, Oberheim DMX, Forat 9000, Roland CR-78, or even
E-MU's own Drumulator kits? Hope the sounds are in the noname kits...
