hey all, I just purchased an XL7 to use for ambient/trip-hop stuff. Does anyone have a suggestion for an EMU sound ROM that has a lot of pads and rich synth sounds? I was thinking about the Beat Garden ROM or the XLead V2 (which is different from what's already in the XL7, yes?) thanks, R

Just download the converted presets if you really must have the XLeadV2 sounds. -Aaron __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

I incorporate much of the xlead and beat garden sounds into my dark ambient music, along with the techno synth construction yard rom. I manipulate these sounds heavily in software synths/ableton live, so this may not be what you are looking to do. I can tell you that the beat garden rom has some excellent sounds that are nice and "pure;" perfect for further mangling. Another thing I have noticed is that the drum sounds on these ROMs are just phenomenal. The beat garden drums are begging to be put into trip hop and minimal stuff. I highly recommend it. - Nick Maxwell

I would think that that the P2K architecture is ideal for creating ambient presets with almost any looped sample. Hmmm. I am wanting to test this theory by creating presets suited for ambient music. Help me out: can you give me a list of 5-10 characteristics of what the presets should sound like/how they should be playable?

hey Nick, thanks for the tip on the beat garden ROM. From the description of your music, it sounds like you know exactly what I'm looking for. Pure sounds that are ripe for mangling would be great-- I don't mind tweaking them. But I'd prefer that they start out on the spacey/creepy side-- rather than having to heavily modify bright poppy synth sounds. So do you have any stuff online I could check out?

Hello List - before I put this on Ebay I thought to ask if any of you might be interested. I have an EMU XL-7 that is in perfect condition with all documentation, CD, original box - it's like new. Installed is the Beat Garden ROM with all the excellent sounds inherent to that. The Beat Garden also has original box, docs, and all that. XL-7 has never seen the outside of my smoke free studio. Functions perfectly, no scratches or blemishes of any kind. I can take some pictures and send if you are interested. I want to sell since what I really need is a set of two more simple drum machines with buttons - not knobs - for live performance. These machines will be incorporated with live drum set. I have used a set of two drum machines in the past as augmentation to my drum set (stop/start pedals arranged by High Hat pedal - two machines for smooth seqways between songs and styles) and thought the XL-7 might be a good way to upgrade and expand this capability. After having used the XL-7 for a few months I find that it's too complicated for my requirements (overkill) and basically for live performance operability I require big buttons to + advance and - retract the complexity of pre sequenced patterns and rhythms. Knobs don't work when a drummer who is playing with both feet and the other hand has to reach over and get a different sound - turn too far, or not far enough, and your screwed. I Have to have buttons and more simple machines. anyone care to contact me with an offer - I'd be happy to hear from you. I can ship out as soon as funds clear Pay Pal or other such arrangement.
