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

The roms don't contain patterns or songs; they contain the rompler 
sounds.  If you reinitialize your unit, for instance, you have to 
use the E-loader to put the original patterns (sequences) back on 
it.  The rompler sounds can not be altered on the roms themselves.  
Getting roms or the Proteus software won't give you more tracks 
unless you download them from the net, buy them, or sequence them 
yourself with it, and you don't need the Proteus software for that 
purpose unless you're just trying to get the sounds it includes that 
are the same as on the XL-7 and its roms.  I believe all the Emu 
sounds, however, are available on CD's you can buy for use with any 
piece of software, which the XL-7 can act as a controller for, as 
well.  I'm not sure if you can download the XL-7's rompler sounds 
into a sequencer program for use on your computer en mass.  That 
would be cool, but you'll have to ask someone else about that.  But 
you can't transmit new raw sounds to the XL-7 without using a 
special piece of hardware to create new roms.  The patterns and 
songs are just different ways of sequencing and otherwise using the 
rompler sounds on the roms.  I just sent 350 sequences to the XL-7 
successfully for the first time without screwing the unit up or 
deleting the original patterns, so it seems like I know what I'm 
doing a little bit now...I think.  If I'm wrong on this, someone 
please correct me.

Proteus X sound module.. Since it is so expensive to buy the roms 
now these days.. Can I transfer thru midi files sequences from the 
software proteus to my Command station thru E-Loader to modify more 
in-depth? If so I realize it would be cheaper to buy other sound 
modules than roms.. I could download the patterns into my Emu and re-
arrange some things. I realize it won't sound exactly the same due 
to not having the original Rom installed but I can surely make due 
without a problem? Please share your thoughts..Is this possible?
