Spoke with an EMU rep 2 days ago.  The host port will eventually be 
used to download samples off of the EMU web site.  Samples such as 
sounds from the movie Armageddon and stuff.  He also said that clips 
from various ROMs (Beat Garden etc..) will be available for sampling 
but there may be a fee involved.  I heard that it will eventually be 
used to back up data at a faster rate than Midi.

Hmm, sounds weird since the XL-7 isn't a sampler. Perhaps what they 
really said (or meant) was that there will be a new feature that lets 
you upload samples into a flash ROM from a computer using the USB 
port.

I don't know if it's possible, but if it is - add this feature please 
=)
