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

New XL-7 user here, Not really satisfied with the Kicks in the 
Proteus 2000 and the Xtreme Lead standard roms. Looking to buy an 
expansion ROM for better drums, looking for tight booming kicks, any 
suggestions???

The "new" Command Station is supposed to ship with a "Drum ROM".  They
(E-MU) say that the ROM will be released separately after the release 
of the new unit.  Stay tuned.........

Check the archives here as Aaron (synthesis77) was talking about this 
recently.

I know what you mean, the presets are a bit weak in places for 
the drums, but with a lot of layering, filtre settings, and 
patchcords etc the drums can be quite good in the XL ROM....

Lately, this talk of drums and ambient patches and other stuff has 
made me wonder if people would be interested in pooling their 
programming and organizing skills?
 
Patch group
 
How much interest would there be in starting a user bank collective? 
A number of people have said that they aren't being completely 
fulfilled by the current patch set. For myself, I definitely see the 
need for more:
 
- ambient sounds - it's more than just slow attack pads...
- more interesting/exotic/usable drum sets.
- the machine is desperately in need of simpler sounds - everything 
in the ROMs is overly multi-layered.
- patch conversion from the planet phatt and audity boxes.
 
Patch Names
 
Furthermore, there is the matter of patch names for the various ROMs 
and DAWs. How would you like to fill out and organize 1 bank of ROM 
names for Cubase/Logic/Sonar, and get all the other banks in your 
machine in return? 
 
 
I am sure that there is other stuff that you all want that we could 
make together. If you are interested in contributing, please respond 
off list to biz @ groovetronica.com 

with:
 
- your programing and sound design experience
- particular interest in sounds
- ROMs you own 
- any programming you already have, that you wish to share
- amount of time you can devote to such a project
- and any other items to add to a 'user' wishlist.
 
As I said before, there probably some room for all experience levels 
in a project like this.

I think this is a good idea.  

You may want to check out the IBGEEK yahoo group.  It is all about 
creating sounds with (mostly) EMU gear. I started it about a year 
ago and it now has some good files to be had.  But there is not alot 
of patches yet.  

So it would be cool do set sompthing up there, that is if people are 
into it.

Just an idea.

Ditto, it's all in the layering.  By themselves, single layers are a tad 
weak, but get two or three drum sounds happening at once and you can get 
some really powerful drums that way. It's easier for me to just add new 
layers to the drum preset and use the layer Transpose settings to find the 
right drum sounds.  Then you don't have to worry about having 3 midi notes 
for each kick drum, etc.

probably not be interested in this aspect as I never use Stock Presets.
