Right symptom, wrong reason.  Reading ROM is no different than reading
memory.  The reason that the MPC is quicker to play a note is because
it is not a synthesizer.  No patch cords, no 6 stage envelopes, no 50
different 12 & 6 pole filters, no pattern arps, no effects by default,
etc.  The XL-7 (and to some degree the 909 too) is a powerful
synthesizer in addition to sequencer.  In fact, as most of you know, it
started out as an XL-1, so the sequencer was added much later.
