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

I am using an E5000 with a ten gig hard disk.  I loaded all ten of 
the basic emu sample cds on to the hard disk.  I am virtualy never 
found stuck for a sound.  The sounds are warm and thick.  I produce 
techno electro house and soundtracks.  I am talking to the extreem 
of having blenders and drills saws.  Wind waves traffic car horns.  
All the organs i could ever want strings vintage synths choirs.  I 
could never list it all.  It took me about a year to get comfortable 
knowing what sounds that i actualy had. 

From there the patch cord section once you get good at using it 
alows for more variation than i could ever think of.

I use the xl7 to sequence it.  and a small rack of out borad gear to 
compress eq and add additional fx.  This set up is working verry 
well for me and it fitts in to a single 10 space road case.

that is just me.  

Roland akai yamaha and emu as well as jomox and waldorf korg all 
have there own sounds.  And it is great to have them all laying 
around but when it comes to being able to switch from project to 
project quickly i have found this to work very well and i dont get 
the band in a box sound.

Just one opinion for ya.
