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

Thanks for the input, that's great.  I'm a fan of darker more moody pianos.  I'm sure I could easily modify that via the filter if the timbre is too bright.  But I suppose it helps to ask, is one better than the other in that way?  Thanks again!

Subject: [xl7] Re: Identifying ROM differences



I have both the Holy Grail piano rom and the Sounds of the ZR (5 bank Halo version) that I use for pianos.
I use them both in live performances and in recording.
The Sounds of the ZR (Perfect pianos) have a real sweet tone.
I prefer the Holy Grail pianos more for rock as they really cut thru the mix.
I have two p2000 series synths that include above roms as well as the composer rom, b3 rom and extreme lead rom and am extremely happy with my setup.
If you do purchase the Sounds of the ZR rom with the perfect pianos, there are some updates that are listed on William Coakley's site at
http://www.williamcoakley.com/proteus that fix some issues in the in the patches.

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!
