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

Your personal issue should be addressed to your dealer who will most
likely be able to talk to his E-MU Rep. Sending out a "what is E-MU
going to do for me " to the mailing list will most likely get you no where.

Why do prices drop.

Market Condition usually dictates that. Any one that sales "stuff" is
feeling the pinch. Not only do we compete with  Roland and Yamaha, but
Sony and Nitendo for the consumers business ( People are not spending
money now). I know Europe has been down, and the US is in a down period
now. Do not fault us for reacting to the Market. We are trying to
generate positive business. We would love to to keep the Xl-7 price as
is. With the new price, new OS and new ROMS I think this is all positive.

BTW: People who bought cars four months ago got a very good interest
rate. Now, you can buy cars for 0%. No one has offered me any discount
for accessories for the car I bought before the 0% financing. So don't
tell us this Bull Hh*t and we know it. Because no we don't know it. The
fact that we thought about you is much more than any other company would do.
