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

I mainly use it for controlling software since I'm not much of a fan 
of my mo-phat ROM. i also don't have a proper "pro-audio" soundcard 
atm so i don't use any external FX with it since i don't own any 
hardware FX. so until i do, it'll just be my favorite MIDI controller.

effects over each one of the waves, so the arppegio is rich on 
variations and never repeats in the same way.

of the big synths.

transponsing sounds (it´s so uncomfortable) and creating bridges...
