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

WHAT?!?!

when was this announced? i completely missed this horrible news. yamaha 
announced something similar a short time ago.

this sucks. soft synths have their place, but they're not the last word on 
synthesis. if  this keeps up, will we all end desperately searching the used 
market for our synths in a few years?

is the market that bad for hardware? i think i'm gonna cry.
