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.
