Re: [xl7] Re: Emu's Drum offer or used rom? please help me out...

2003-09-26 by david rodriguez

I have the prootzoa its the only rom I got. I got my mp-7 with a protozoa 
rom at agreat price and I sold the mp-7 rom. but the protozoa is great its 
16 mb of the bread and butter acustic type instruments. The piano is great 
its good for that twangy hip hop sound and its great for down tempo type 
stuff too there are a few good strings. Ive made about 9 songs using just 
one of the better string sounds. and Ive recently just discovered a cello 
sound for hip hop. I really have no complaints about the sounds except as 
far as drum kits go.. They sound great I love them but theres only 4 types 
and not a decent 909 or 808 type sound. But you can do a great number of 
things with this rom... But I am however planning on getting rid of mine 
once I get the proteus drum rom and the orchestra strings and the vintage 
keys roms. Actually I might not get rid of it but I heard somewhere that 
there is a rom dedicated to letting you store 32 mb of just user created 
presets is that true I sure hope so.. I sure could use that.
