Nice track, although I was full by about 2:41.. it lathered, 
rinsed, and then just repeated for the rest it seemed. Nice sound, 
however.

Thanks man, it was definitely meant to be dark. 

Hehe, I love the record label game, they tell me my tunes need to be 
harder and darker, so I do this one, and now they say it's too hard and 
dark.  Doh!  That's it, definitely time to sell the studio and buy an 
acoustic guitar...

Don't throw it away!  It is a seasonal thing.

rEalm,

"Obelisk" rocks, dude. Was that *all* done on the XL-7? I'm thinking of
buying this unit, and if "Obelisk" was completely done on the Emu, well -
I'm sold.

Couple  questions:
-Can volumes be automated on the XL-7? Furthermore, what are all the
automatable features on the command station?
- I notice some vocal patches on the tune - Is there any formant type
processing of any patches?
- I noticed in one of the EMU magazine ads, Rza (I think) is carrying his
MP7 around like it's a portable device. I guess I could go to the emu site
to find this out, but this thing doesn't have battery slots does it? Sure
would be cool to take this thing on road trips...

Nice tunage, ~Mark

>>>Sorry, but I don't think anything in that song is from the XL-7 
actually (mostly Virus KC) :(  I did use it as a controller to manipulate 
Kontakt though, it worked great for that.  If you want to hear a song 
that's entirely XL-7, check out "Frozen Clouds" which (aside from the 
guitar) is all XL-7, or "Composite Blue" which is 100% XL-7 too. <<<

Couple  questions:
-Can volumes be automated on the XL-7? Furthermore, what are all the 
automatable features on the command station?

>>>Yep, all of the knob movements can be recorded, as can Track Mutes in 
Song mode.  Otherwise all of the standard MIDI CC's can be recorded. <<

- I notice some vocal patches on the tune - Is there any formant type 
processing of any patches?

>>>LOL, dude you have no idea! :) (not meant in bad way).  The XL-7 has 
quite a few formant filters that are great for adding vocally sounds to 
your music.  There's a few Presets with vocal samples as the base 
waveforms, but most are choir sustained type sounds.  "Composite Blue" 
uses this cool female voice thingy too, straight from the XL-7. <<

MP7 around like it's a portable device. I guess I could go to the emu site

>>>No battery slots, sorry.  I take mine to a local park all the time 
though (they have power outlets in the gazebos) and it is VERY nice being 
able to write music while enjoying the beautiful weather. <<<

Well, both tunes (Frozen Clouds & Composite Blue) are totally fly, man. Nice
sounds coming out of the command station. I wasn't too thrilled with the
slightly tinny reverb sound on Composite - maybe it was the patch - but the
nice spacious reverbs on Frozen Clouds renewed my confidence in this device.

I remember some discussion bout eq - can one adjust the eq individually for
each patch?

Cant wait to get me one these bad boys (XL-7 that is!)

Glad you liked it.  Going to be changing a few things actually, had a 
label express interest if I was to make some minor changes, so I'll be 
revisiting this one this weekend.

As for Influx1, hehe, we're actually working on something right now. 
Though I should say he's a bit of a slacker, LOL  :)

Hook up with influx and colab'...you'll be picked up
soon, trust that!

sorry for this sort of non xl inquiry, but rEalm, just curious how 
you first got 'people' to hear your music, and eventually a label 
deal. i like your tunes (the 2 i've heard). there are such crap out 
there...same old euro trance especially, with silly 4 bar riffs over 
and over and over, no musical development, no depth, no imagination, 
that are on record labels, and then there's those tunes that are the 
same drum loop for 6 minutes, and an occasional vocal sample here and 
there...i'm wondering how in the hell they ever did. in my opinion 
your tunes easily surpass that euro popular boramma, and i think your 
stuff could easily replace that shit, but is it just luck? or is it 
people you know? cuz i have heard lots of good music my 'amateurs' 
that could easily replace that stuff realeased by labels...what's the 
deal? friends and strangers alike, never guess that i am behind tunes 
that i coyly have them listen to. i know my productions are not 
nearly 'professionla' yet, but my musical interpretation from emotion 
is very nice they say. would love to have y'all take a listen in near 
future...i make music for the love of it, but those that get a listen 
easily think my tunes are from 'legit' releases by labels...funny i 
guess. but yeah, how did you get your 'start'???
