hi,
in which way can you create that typical acid sound of the roland tb 
and tr-series? or is the xl7 not capable of delivering those fat 
tweaking sounds? or is the xl7 much better?
greetz,
yuri.

First up, the TR series was the drum series (TR909, TR808, etc) , not the 
'acidy-303' sounds you're thinking of.  To be honest, there's very few 
things that will make an accurate 303 line, off hand I can think of 
ReBirth (software, and IMO the best 303 emulator), the FR777, and the 
TeeBee 303.  While the XX-7's certainly have many 303 type sounds and 
filter emulations, they still don't come that close to getting the right 
feel of a 303 line.  This is not a fault on Emu's part, because the main 
reason a 303 sounds like a 303 is from the way in which Roland implemented 
the Note Glide feature.  It's hard to copy using a Rompler like the 
XX-7's. 

So anyway, you can get close with the XX-7's, but you really need the real 
deal (or Rebirth) to a pretty exact sounding 303 sound.  Besides, the acid 
sound is so played out, make new sounds, don't copy the same ones everyone 
has done to death already  :)
