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

Thanks M2 for the reply, claiming ignorance here, I'll take your input as
more credible than
the place I bought the Proteus 2500 from. I've been out of the recording
hobby for some
time and I just bought the Proteus 2500 as an alternative to the XL7, which
is what I really
wanted. It makes sense that the sounds won't be the same unless the ROM is
also available
in the 2500. What the CD does have are all of the song and pattern files
(the .MID files) for
the MP7 and the XL7, but thats all.

Based on your opinion, do you think there's any advantage the 2500 has over
the XL7 or
MP7? The reason I ask is because I've considered returning the 2500 in
exchange for
a XL7 after doing some more research and after reading your reply.
Your opinion would be helpful,

Thanks,

jp-

  jp,

  Without the ROM's from the XL-7(X-LEAD#9089)and the MP-7(Pure
  Phatt#9062)in your 2500, the sounds you are trying to download will
  NOT work.  The presets are directed to pull information from the ROM
  itself.
