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

The "Halo" (QROM) and "sounds of the ZR" (ZR) ROMs have identical waveforms but 
the halo variant has 5 banks of presets rather than 4. The useful contents are 
pretty much identical except for the extra bank, so get that one if you can. The 
'Perfect piano" is quite nice. TSCY seems to be what you want, however.

Subject: [xl7] ROM Decisions - HELP!

   
Hi all, I currently have an XL-7 with three Roms, the X-Lead (expanded one??), a 
Composer Rom, and a Beat Garden Rom. 


I'm trying to decide what to put into the fourth slot. I make deep, 
experimental, minimal, techno etc and the obvious choice would be Techno Synth 
Construction yard, but I'm not sure what sounds it would give me over what I 
have already. 

I am already satisfied with kicks, bases, hi-hats, sub bases, snares, electro 
sounding pianos etc. The Xlead rom is choking full of synth sounds, but a lot of 
them are not useable for what I do. I just think I'm lacking some quirky sounds, 
glitchy, metallic sounds and also warm fuzzy synth stuff. 


I'm wandering about the Ensoniq Halo or the ZR-76 roms. Anyone have these and 
care to comment on their sounds, it would be much appreciated.
