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

I think I may have gotten the on of the last ones that EMU had. I had 
talked with direct on an offer for a different ROM that I had already 
installed. So, to take adavntage of having a real person on the line, 
I told them I would be interested in a buy 1 get one a half off deal. 
Which the sales person had agreed to. When I wanted to get the TSCY 
ROM there was some difficulty, but she came through. There was no 
mention of the ROM being discontinued. But it was obviously out of 
stock at EMU.

SO, now my XL7 is loaded with the TSCY, Beat Garden, Proteus ROM and 
the stock XL7. I hardly do anything with my Karma anymore. I might 
start using it for arps. Right now it is just a very expensive 
controller.

If you can get a copy of TSCY, I'd get it. I have found it to be very 
useful. I am making industrial EBM and electro gothic rock. The EMU 
is basically my backline.

Greg,

I've have had mine since 1999 and I'm still very pleased with it.  
It's in my P2K along with the factory Composer, Beat Garden and 
Vintage ROM's.  As soon as my protean Drum ROM ships, my XL-7 will be 
done.  It has the X-ROM, M-ROM and POP ROM in it.  XL-7, MP-7, 2500 
and PX-7 all in one box.

So right know you basically have two pop roms? Are the presets really 
that different from one another?

BTW, I feel a little envy... I wish I had the Peter Siedlaczek rom to 
max my XL-7 and next to it a Mp-7 maxed with the World, B3 and the ZR 
(or protozoa) roms... That'd be a killer setup! I can almost feel the 
32 mute/unmute buttoms at my finget tips...

Sort of, the POP and Composer, while they have the same instrument 
datatbase, do have different presets. and arps were included on the 
POP ROM.

That would be nice too.  I travel with my XL when away on business
(to keep me sane)so the looks in the airports are great but why does 
everyone always assume it's a beat box?:)

This sounds so familiar. I bought the XL-7 the week it came out. For 
a year it was loaded with the Sounds of the ZR, TSCY and Word 
Expedition ROM's. I felt that the only thing missing was a good 
orchestral ROM and I considered replacing TSCY with the PS 
Orchestra. The XL-7 has gone with me on every vacation and many 
business trips. It is a bit large but fits in my suitcase. I do 
worry when it goes with my checked baggage. Now things are in a bit 
of flux with new ROM's and I am trying to come up with a comfortable 
spread. I have 11 ROM's split between the XL-7, P2500 and Virtuoso 
2000. Right now the XL-1 is loaded synth based ROM's but I think I 
like the idea of picking up PS Orchestra and going back to a 
variety. With XL, ZR, World and Orchestra in one device I think I 
would have the sounds for any song in a single box.

I get that with my ER-1 too, airport security are always wanting me to 
turn it on and play it for them.  Of course there's no speakers so I end 
up having to spend too much time explainin this all to them :)
