Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

I had the ver 1 installed and was set on creating all my own 
patterns  etc.  Then I decided I should start using what was at hand 
and began checking out some factory arps which led me on the 
slippery slope to occasionally hi jacking a melody or so from 
diferent patterns. This led me to download the xl-7 patterns which 
to my dismay did not work. Ah, ver1 vs ver2. I had some ver2s in and 
decided to test one out. Patterns work. However previous works with 
the xl-v1 now have big gaps in them, it turns out I used that rom 
more than I thought! So now the debate is to take my old patterns 
and put in new presets or while having the xl2 for comparison change 
xl-7 patterns to xl1 presets. Besides I'm kind of attached to that 
ole piece of silicone, ya know? I'm just really unsure how important 
the XL7 patterns are to me. Besides I've swapped roms around alot 
lately and I feel as if I am butchering my works everytime:(
Quick question, slow answer!
