Re: [xl7] user patterns.

Yeah, I hear you, the Factory Patterns and Presets are a bit weak IMO, but 
that's the case with most Presets no matter the gear (except Access, who 
now uses their excellent user created patches as Presets).  I think it's 
not a good idea to judge a synth capabilities based on it's factory 
sounds, as they many times don't even come close to what you can actually 
do with the synth.  You can definitely get some massively lush sounds out 
of the Xl-7, and if you check some of the recent posts from this morning, 
you can find a link to the contest site where we had a XX-7 song contest 
for people on this list.  Lots of great tunes up there, all made by us!

hey all, i went to the emu sight, and the presets seem a little week.  can 

anyone give me a link to some of there mp3's that were done entirely on 
the 
xl7 or mostly done on the xl7.  now to me presets on most keyboards, and 
boxes are week.  so it really comes down to waveforms...am i going to be 
able 
to pull really lush sounds off this thing?  the preset patterns and songs 
sound 
like trance from 97 before they started adding lots of texture to songs...
