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

Congrats! You're a lucky man.

The XL-2 is the the ROM from the XK-6 Keyboard. It contains all of the XL-7 plus a 5th bank of extra sounds.

The two ROMs, both hard to find and pricey, known for piano are the 'Sounds of the ZR,' which includes the William Coakley's 'Perfect Piano' ported over from the ensoniq EXP-4 board and a GM bank, or the 'Holy Grail' piano card.

I'd be more envious of you if I hadn't had a similar recent experience where I bought an Ensoniq MR Rack of off eBay and opened it to find both the 'Real World' and 'Urban Dance Project' boards installed.

Subject: [xl7] Identifying ROM differences
 

  
Hi all,

I bought a PX7 and when I installed Podatum I was surprised to discover that it has two extra ROM cards.  It has the Drum ROM, of course, but also the MO'Phatt ROM and the Extreme Leads ROM.  So it's like a PX7/XL7/MP7 in one. I don't think the seller knew that, I didn't either for a few months...duh!

However the Leads ROM is listed as XL-2 in the PX7 interface and in Podatum. I'm not sure what to make of that. Are there differences, if so what are they and how do I spot them?

On a related note, to fill that last ROM slot what card should I look for?  This will be primarily used as a drum machine/sequencer sitting next to an Ensoniq TS-12 in my 'scratch pad' area. However, I don't like the piano on the TS, is there a good piano sound on any Emu ROMs?

Thanks so much!
