Re: Sound rom prices

2003-07-13 by DigiD

Thanks for the reply but that doesnt answer my question. FYI I do my
own sampling and editing with my ASR10 so I know what is involved. I
still believe E-mu could lower the price on the roms a little. Anyway
Im just trying to find any deals that I might have missed. Is that so
wrong?

Thanks
