i make drum and bass and have the mo phat rom(mp7) what roms do you suggest i get? was thinking of the xl7 and some of the rob papen stuff. and anyone got any tips to make the drums hit harder straight out of the mp7? was thiking of adding a light distortion to alll of the drum presets but that might suck considering the quality of the distortion:)
