Re: [xl7] Re: ROMs with no name, only AP numbers...let's complete the list

2007-01-07 by Aaron Eppolito

X-Lead v2 was the ROM that came with the XK-6 keyboard.  It's an
updated version of the original XLead set which came with the XL-1.  It
was reworked for the XL-7, then reworked again for the XK-6.  It should
have a bunch of "key" presets that were designed for the keyboard. 
There might have been a while when the XK-6 shipped with an "XK-6"
soundset, but that would have been short lived, if at all (I can't
remember).  Eventually, the goal was to standardize all of the
16-controller products on one ROM (per type).  I can't remember if that
ever happened, or if production stopped before it did.
