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

don't know why i never thought of using my XL-7 as a controller for softsynths 
before. what a great idea! i use an oxygen8 as well. it's true that it sucks that 
the controllers physical postions won't track changes in patches, but the 
increase is usability more than makes up for it with me. and assigning 
controller to the keyboard (typing keyboard, not MIDI) works well too.

i truly truly hope you're right that softsynths are a fad. it would be nice if they'd 
settle down into their proper place in a few years, and everyone stopped 
acting like they're the answer to all the world's problems. i have scary visions 
of desperately searching for used and beat-up hardware synths 10 years from 
now...

remember when everyone thought that digital and hard disk recording was 
the greatest thing since sliced bread? and people ditched all their hardware. 
now everyone wants cool, fat, warm, etc. etc. analog outboard. the swell part 
is that now the market is full of great sounding, affordable analog gear aimed 
at home/project studios.

with a little luck, something similar might happen with harware synths.
