I just
traded in my 2500 for a MP-7, unfortunately to the best of my knowledge
anyway,
you
can't get a ROM Card that has the 2500 sounds. It's more of a mixture or
combo
of
several EMU modules, like the XL-7, MP-7, Proteus 2000, Planet Earth, etc.
I've
already asked EMU. My suggestion would be the World
Expo and the Techno Synth
ROM
cards. That'll give you an huge variety of sounds that are probably better
than
the
2500.� That's the route I'm going anyway, already have the Techno Synth
ROM
installed on the MP-7.

of the mp-7 - that means: drums and perc. (the first decent conga
sound I heard on a rompler), basses, guitar wahs.
I am not so concerned about the variety of efx (only reverb and delay
routing is stupid though) and I really like their natural feel. Some
people worry about the quality of the fx but they somehow remind me
of the DP2 which I had years ago. I like the efx.
2. favourite: the expandability.- I use the ZR-76 board to go with
the mp-7 for bread and butter (wonderful piano). But for the rest, I
would be more than happy to have a better, less outworn bread and
butter ROM Card that stands up to the fresh sample quality of the
mp7, is there a Proteus 2500 Sound Card that can be used with the mp7
and has a better sound set than the ZR-76 board (except the piano,
veeeeery good!).
3. Knob interface: its more fun working with a real knob than with
menus. Still the ridiculously small screens are a serious limitation
to handling this box effectively.
Good as well: the sturdy built of the hardware, stable input and
output jacks, the gooseneck light, however, the pads are to stiff.
That results in having a heavy weight box.
Sequencer handling leaves a lot to be desired, so the best feature of
the mp-7 could be covered with the sound module mophatt.
