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

Thanks for everyone's replies. Is the stock rom on the xl-7
removeable. Could I trade it for the protean ROM, or is it less
desireable. I'm just starting out with everything. This was my first
purchase ever. I knew it was geared towards dance stuff, but I thought
I found a good deal on a really nice one, so I figured I could just
add sounds like you all say.

How can you apply effects from a petal to sounds that are on the xl-7?
