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

I'm still waiting for my XL-7 to arrive, but I can put in a good word 
for the Access Virus - and I'm sure rEalm will back me up on that.

The Novation stuff has a very nice sound and the Waldorf gear is very 
versatile, but I think the Virus and its phenomenal filters does the 
best job of nailing the rawness of analog and would therefore be a 
better match for the warm digital samples of the E-mus. Unless 
there's a must-have feature that would be a dealbreaker for you it 
really comes down to personal preference though.
