All of the keyboard versions of the ROMs have an additional bank for a total of 640 presets (instead of 512). There are 3 versions of the Phatt ROM:
Phatt = ROM from the original Mo’Phatt and Turbo Phatt modules
MP-7 = ROM from the MP-7 Command Station, same samples but slightly different presets.
MK-6 = ROM from the MK-6 keyboard, has an additional bank of presets. I believe (unverified) that a good chunk of that additional bank are the BTS presets that were on the Phatt ROM but replaced on the MP-7 ROM.
Other keyboard versions are:
Halo (QROM - 5 bank version of Sounds of the ZR)
XL-7 (XLead V2 - 5 bank version of XL-7)
PK-6 (Proteus Pop Collection - 5 bank version of Composer)
You can tell the earlier ROMs from the later ROMs by the naming of the presets - E-mu simplified the preset name prefix system to eliminate most of the sub-categories.

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.To: xl7@yahoogroups.com

Subject: [xl7] Are Mo' Phatt and MP-7 ROMs identical?
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.DFCONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This communication with its contents may contain confidential and/or legally privileged information.
