Computerwise, ROM ID [Bank MSB], Bank LSB, and Preset number make up 
the logical address of parameter data which the E-Mu synth engine 
uses to create audio.

The logical address is/functions as/points to a "location."  
Sequencers [on board and external] "point" to the "location" of the 
preset [data].

By physical location you evidently mean the slot in which the ROM 
sits.

Not trying to be pedantic, just trying to clarify two different uses 
of the word "location."
