Nice one mate very interesting. We have a rackmount EMU Extreme Lead, from the same era. It has a few of the ROM soundsets, but best of all it is bright yellow. Yummy! There is a lot of menu diving, but once you get in there everything is fairly well structured. We too find it benefits from going through rackmount FX, in this case a Lexicon MPX550.
Great minds eh?

Nice one on the extreme Lead - love the yellow! I always wanted a Mo'Phatt - I mean who wouldn't want something this colour?!!
re: menu diving - I'm pretty sure using any of this old gear isn't sensible - but who wants to make music sensibly?!
Ooo that is sexy! And yes, exactly, sensible music making?
We have the Mo'Phatt ROM in our EMU actually, it has a not unpleasant but not cool old school hip hop vibe.
We are too too alike! Maybe we should do a contest to make a track using E-MU modules?! I thing @quinnertronics in the comments above could be in - he actually has a MoPhatt!
yeah, i really like the proteus line and the variety of sounds you can get, even though they are fairly digital sounding and the filters...don't necessarily sound the best- the random patch generation is amazing!
at one point i had an mp7 command station and i had high hopes for it-but there was something wrong with it and it would make these random glitch noises so i had to get rid of it.
I'm trying to think of what roms i have in them (because i have a bunch of the jv1080 roms too) but i think i have the classical one? the jv is great, its just easier to edit on the proteus' in my opinion.
and yes, I'm down for an e-mu challenge of some sort!
Yeah that sounds like fun, some sort of "digital rackmount sound generators" showdown. Might be a bit unfair though as I also have a Kawai K1r and a Yamaha TG55...
i have a kawai k1 that is circuut bent with a patchbay and a yamaha sy 77, although it needs a new battery
Ah noice; I love the TG55. I expect the SY77 is a step up from that.
its actually quite great! full size keys and multiple faders and whatnot, it was a lot easier to edit then the other yamaha fm i had, im thinking tx802 or something? the one that was a fancier rack dx7- that thing was a pain...but i need to open it up and solder a battery in and its just been sitting there for over a year now, probably
