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

Well, on a ROMpler like these boxes, I must say I
don't change much in the way of presets and I am a
guitarist.  There doesn't seem much point to me.  So
many sounds, so many very good.  Spend the time
playing.  I do like to fuck with the output using a
KAOSS pad or my Lexicon MPX1 though.  On the other
hand, I have a Korg MS2000R and I do like to edit
patches on that.  It's a totally different animal
though.  Much more tweakable IMO.
