This ROM or That ROM?

2004-01-21 by aeon

OK...so imagine you had one ROM slot left and money
burning a hole in your pocket (heh!)...and you knew
you were going to get one last ROM for that slot...
and the choice was going to either be the Protean Drum
ROM or the Siedlaczek Orchestra ROM.

assume that you had no greater need for one over the
other, and each would suit the music you create.

why would you choose one over the other? please
address the quality of the base samples, the mapping,
the looping and the quality of the patches that utilize
those samples.

for example, do the patches have effective velocity
control for expression, modwheel assignment for sound
shaping and the like?

again, I could use some realistic drums and percussives,
but I could also use some orchestral section sounds,
and I wonder what people who own one or in particular
both might have to say about them...the more words the
better!


thanks so much in advance!
aeon
