RE: [xl7] Roland vs. E-mu Sounds

Best way to reproduce real instruments for your $...a sampler
Best way to produce electronics...a real analog synth
Best way to screw yourself down the road...choose by brand name.

None of the major retailers are really better overall for one thing or
another (except for Yamaha when it comes to FM). Each company has a few real
gems, and a lot of hogwash, you just have to try them all out to make sure
you don't get slammed with an overpriced under-usable piece of square
useless plastic (yes, they're all mostly plastic these days) thats
orientated towards low-intelligence leveled, heavy walleted techno "ravers"
who think they'll be the next Richie Hawtin because they freaked out on
there groove box while dosing hard.

Uh, yeah...a bit over done, but you get my point, eh?
