If you go over to the file section in the P2K group, I have uploaded the sysex 
dumps of every bank from every ROM except #20 (the composer ROM from the Proteus 
2500) which I do not have a copy of.

The version 1 comes from the xl-1 (also the xl-1 turbo)
The version 2 comes from the xk-6
The other is from the xl-7 which (as you have noted) is identical to the xk6 but 
missing one bank

The waveforms are reported to be identical (have not actually checked myself), 
but have slightly different IDs. So to use the sysex dumps from xl-1 with a xk-6 
or xl-7 you will need to modify the ROM identifier in the sysex to the one in 
your box. FOr xl-1 the ID is 7, the other two have an ID of 14.

Also in the P2K file section there is also a description of sysex implementation 
and some xl spreadsheets describing the dump in detail. Not a big deal to 
modify.

The same thing applies for the variants of composer, sounds of the ZR and phatt 
ROMs (where the variants have different ROM identifiers).

Hi ... 

I just read this over at gearslutz regarding a question about the Xtreme Lead.

The poster stated there were 3 different versions: original, V2 and XL-7, asking 
which he should get.

This was someone's answer: "I currently own two of these. The V2 and original. 
The XL-7 and V2 have 4 banks of sounds that are exactly the same and the V2 adds 
1 extra bank of 127 sounds. The original sound set has exactly the same 32mb of 
sample rom but - completely different programmed presets built from those rom 
samples."

OK ... so if they all use the same samples, where would you find the preset 
packages for each? Seems like it would be pretty simple to use Prodatum and load 
up the various presets ... maybe make a custom bank.

This also makes me wonder about some of the other ROMS.

I know some of you like to program/ roll your own ... but to have access to all 
the original factory preset banks would be great for some of the less 
adventurous of us ... as well as possible good learning exemplars for the patch 
tweakers.
