Is it technically possible for the XX7 to write into a flash ROM? 
Then perhaps samples could be sent to the flash ROM by the USB port? 
Well, perhaps this is not techically possible, but if it is, it would 
be very cool feature (then I would buy a flash ROM or two, or 
three...)

I am starting to wonder if the Emu gnomes are tinkering in the
"Workshop that goes beep" to provide such features. 

No one has said a word about it, but it would be pretty cool if they did.

I also agree that the price of the flash sticks is a bit of a
surprise.  But I don't think that Emu is profiteering, there are
strange prices in the memory market for chips, and big flashes that
can be surface mounted on a SIMM seems like a narrow market. (narrow
market = high unit cost)

I can foress an evolutionary point in this thing where it just comes
with 256MB of flash in it (soldered to the sound board) and you can
pay to download and blast whatever sound sets you want from Emu or
your local dealer can do it for you.

At that point you can have different sound clusters that you can use
for different things.  If I am doing a chill session in the wee hours
some morning of Burning Man I will use different sounds than a rave in
some warehouse.  It would be fun to just have some advanced version of
ELoader, and have lists of sounds for this outing.  Sort of like MP3
playlists.

Thats one of the fun things about this stuff, there is SOOO much
potential.

I never said that. I'm ready to pay the price. I just wish there was 
a way to flash the ROM without having to buy an EMU sampler.

sorry..

I was reading about a fellow surprised at the price of Flash, and in
my mind they became one post.
