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

Finally got my XL7 connected to Prodatum and Proteum.  I was holding out for
a USB connection to Windows 7 but finally surrendered and got traditional
MIDI connections by using my Virus as a MIDI-USB bridge.  The programs make
sound creation much much easier and I'm going to have to splurge for a real
adapter now I suppose.  Really opens the usefulness of the device up.

 

Some questions now that I'm finally on a roll.

 

Wasn't someone working on an Ipad app?

 

Have you ever bought a Proteus or other EMU synth on Craigslist and salvaged
the ROM?  Is that possible?  I've got the purple ROM and there are a ton of
sounds on it and like three of them are for me.  Trade me?

 

Anyone ever consider buying the EMU sampler and going into the ROM-cutting
business?  I see them on Craigslist from time to time but I've always been a
fail at making and sometimes at using samples.  The Ultra 6400 is $300, you
cut 20 custom ROMs, you get your ROMs, and you make your money back, right?

 

Anyone know how to connect a knob to the send levels?  The effects setup on
the CS's is just a shame but there must be a way to make it work for live
tweaking.  I can't find the sends in the cords and I can't (and don't expect
to) find a CC for it.  Maybe Sysex, not that it would help.   

 

Finally, I'm glad that this mailing list is here but I feel weird spamming
all of you with tech support requests.  The Facebook group isn't exactly
active, either.  I get the sense folks hear that the CS is great, get one,
get flummoxed on day one and sell it.  There's got a be a better way...
