- Hi Bruce,
I see that my typing efforts were somewhat in vain as I expected my
previous post to land up on the egroup site, like the Hammond posts
do. Anyway I hope that my post was of interest at least to yourself.
If it was of interest and you check out the emu site for the MP3's
perhaps you could get back to me via the site with your comments on
the two demo tracks and I will have another attempt at re-writing the
post again if you think that the item may be of interest to the other
group members. Regards, Thomas
