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

Let me chime in. First off, Certain dealers in the US and Europe have
participated in a Command Station promo that involved the "Proteus ROM".
Most of them (dealers) have used the ROM as a promotional tool / bundle
with xx-7's. The Mystery "Proteus ROM" is in fact the same ROM that's
found in a Pk6 keyboard. There are 5 banks of presets, the first 4 are
identical to the P2500 and the 5th bank contains new presets, including
additional Beats presets. This ROM, Probably tilted "Proteus POP
Collection" when released, will be productized in July, exclusively for
xx-7, XK-6 and MK-6 owners.

Note. The PPC has been designed for the xx-7's 16 knob preset editing
layout. The P2K's ROM, or also known as the Composer ROM was designed
around P2K's 12 knob preset editing layout. As xx-7 owners, we were
convinced that you would want to receive the PPC ROM.

Answer for your next question. Why July, and not now? Simple, inventory
control and planned revenue flow. Once a date has been planned/created
to ship product, it's real hard to bring the schedule in. The ROMS that
some users have received do not come with any fancy packaging.
