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

Well you're not the only one. I very rarely leave a preset unedited on
any piece. I think it is a combination of wanting something unique and
looking to make something sound better. Presets often sound somewhat
generic to me as if they are meant to be tweaked. "The really pro
patches are hard to improve" It's not surprising that non synth players
often do not share this view. For example quite a few guitarists I know
would never think of editing a patch and are much more focused on the
sound's melodic placement. It is similar IMHO to the way I view effects
as part of the sound rather than a dressing a lot of times adding reverb
to a snare will change the direction of an entire pattern for me. I
remember an experiment me and friend had with his notron and the attack.
Just by changing kits and leaving the pattern the same would change the
style completely from rock to dub for example.

well, we have a pretty good synth architecture in the xl, even with 
those dated presets, i would think you could make something 
pretty 'new'...i'm only beginning to get into its many different 
filters and stuff...cool and weird stuff can happen...fun. i guess 
used creatively, just about anything can sound 'new'...maybe i'm a 
bit strange, but as soon as i fiddle with a synth...in the stores or 
anywhere else, i start messing with the settings and such...presets 
never quite feel 'right' to me...hmm...well, back to the beats...
