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

Thanks Aaron. I didn't realize that the Composer and Pop ROMs had the
same instrument data. Well that makes the choice easy. I love the drum
kits in the Pop ROM by the way, so I have no need for the Protean
Drums ROM.

I once owned a Vintage Pro, so I'm definitely getting a Vintage ROM.
I'm also looking at the two Papen ROMs. How would they fit a chill-out
or ambient style?

But maybe I should make a song on the XL7 first, before pouring more
money into it.

-Ron.
