Thanks again, Sam ... but we should probably talk! I think I'm getting you now. I think you are talking about issues between the p2000/ p1000 vs. the command station/ p2500. AFAIK, the only differences between the p2000 and p1000 series is that the p2000 has an extra midi port, 2 extra ROM slots, subouts and S/PDIF out. They are both 64 voice and were last updated to OS 2.26. The 128 voice Command Stations and P2500 have a different architecture and chip and were last updated to OS 2.00. Those two OS are entirely different. I also have a JD990 and I recall reading ... a Sound on Sound or Vintage Synth review? ... that while it is based upon the JD800 (which can be used for editing the JD990) the architecture is not identical and if may have different analog circuitry. I know for a fact that there are presets on the SR-JV80 04 Vintage Synth card that can only be accessed by the JD990 and not the JV or XV series. The history of synths and ROMs is a fascinating and convoluted subject I only partially have my head around. FWIW, the prices of the JD990 seem to be ascending again from the circa $300 to the circa $500 range.

Some cards are 16 meg others 32mb. All my cards are 32 except my audity 16. The 1000s' are 64 note and Use That flash prep. concept before you can update it to the latest OS.My command station is OS 2.00 My 1000 is 2.26 "its not always best to update" My 1000 is updated But it still is not a 2000 I have to add the outs to read the subs. None of the updates for my 1000, will do what the update did for my command station. The 1000 with update Now, has a place to add arps. Ive loaded the arps from the Orbit 3. That works.... But I have to tweak a sound to make the arps work. Even the master arp settings. Cool So then I reinitialized it. unplugged and put My 5 bank X rom Card in it."the 1000" Since I cleared it out. the multi /arp set ups were gone. So to fix my new problem, I used Midi ox to upload the set up kits from my command station. It works. But the arps Sound Flat. lock ups happened. "save button flashed". Cleared it out.... added My mp7 card. Auto cycle all that same thing.But this time the save button didn't light up. So I did load it right. I did all the same thing an just used the Proteus card. Wow felt like I just got it out of the box. The presets only load right in "If you have the units actual card. If not the card you have in you have to load the banks in one at a time. "copy banks part from the save buttons options" My jd 800 an jd 990. have similar type issues. "New reads Old, Old cant Read New" .XP vista w7. same deal Check me out!

I appreciate your help and am eager to hear how things go with the flash rom card ... you mean the ones you can burn from an Emulator, right? Also, it is not clear to me when you are talking about the ROMs not playing nice if you are referring to a 2000/ 1000 ROM in a command station or a command station ROM in a 2000/ 1000. I really can't understand why there would be any issues swapping between 2000 and 1000 modules, as they are the identical engine. I'm still mystified as to whether there are different cards or whether the units read them differently to come up with the different display, i.e., 'Phatt' versus 'MP-7.' I'm inclined to think that the cards are different, as I thought I understood that the presets are loaded from the card on boot.

Sorry, Im a speaker, not a writer :) But , Here's what I have by emu. Esi 2000 3.4 all cds.? E synth, 4.62 64 note poly "loaded with all emu cards banks." cds E 5000 ultra, 4.7 64 note "same" Audity 2000, V.1 64 note poly Proteus 1000, 2.26 64 note. Mp7 2.00, 128 note poly. with"mp7 rom X rom" The mo phatt is 64 notes. The card that came with it, Has Different features than the mp7. The banks are even Different. Some Sounds get stuck... Some wont play? Triggers , Processors etc. all work different. The touch-strip. Kits vs. drums, Names of the knobs?" Too many things are way different. I laughed at myself one day and said"why are you trying to get something that plays 64 notes. to read something that reads 128 notes" So basically its best to use ,The banks of the card and unit. Or... The same 1000 models together, 2000 models together etc. At times Ive loaded in banks, and one of the knobs lights, would be on. Or, the save button flashes? Until you reinitialize it. The units play odd. "noise harsh sounds spikes at times Flat" This is what causes that midi error fail . If anyone had that happen before. If you Still have it. Disconnect the unit. midi cables and power cord. ? re plug it in.And run the auto cycle. Reboot and reload the multi set ups banks etc. Good to go. Other tips. If you have a rack mount, and lost the multi set ups an arps. Go to the audity page and download the multi set up from there."Steve may have it here" You cant do it from the command stations "download" because they have sequences patterns. that wont load into the rack mounts. I also have a... PX 7v.25 rom in my e 5000 It reads as ,No Presets. Meaning "No Instruments". I only get the samples. So the guy with the PX 7 problem.... I really think you have a flash card. "bonus Keep that card" A friend of mine.... just got the 32 mg flash rom card last week. We are going to figure out how those work ."sound authoring"This week coming up. I will explain them here for all. Hope this helps. Check me out!

Well, I guess I'm about to find out ... I just bought a pretty inexpensive 'Mo Phatt' on line, basically to get the rack ears. Since I have a ROM in my PX-7 that displays 'MP-7,' I'll get to compare them. I am thinking about putting an extra Beat Garden ROM in the 'Mo Phat' and selling it on without the ears.

I'm pretty sure they are the same. I found a very cheap MK-6 on ebay awhile back and thought I'd use it, but it was way to big to fit in my setup... so I ended up yanking the ROM out and putting it in my XL-7. Anyway, in the users manual for the MK-6 it mentions that the ROM is the same as the MP-7, and that the only differences to the systems basically are trading a keyboard for a sequencer. I do remember reading somewhere awhile back that there were 2 runs of Phatt roms, and that the much more common More Phatt had the same content as Phatt, but contained many more samples than the first Phatts did.

I read that the Mo' Phatt, MP-7 and MK-6 all have the same 'pure phatt' module. Is this correct including presets and all? I noticed that a chart I have states that the MP-7 and Mo' Phatt ROMS have different display, i.e., 'MP-7' and 'Phatt,' so it made me wonder if the content is all the same.
