.......and I also LOVE (in equal measures!) really good PAD sounds. 





Answer:

Both ROM's by Rob Papen, #9063 *Beat Garden and #9084 *TSCY have 
great pad sounds and loads of percussion samples that you are looking 
for too. For harder pads and lead sounds, look at the *X-Lead ROM 
#9089(sounds of the XL-1). Rob Papen has created 256 free presets as 
well as 100 arp patterns for the TSCY ROM and Sean Wilhelmsen from E-
MU has created 63 free Fat Lead presets for the X-Lead ROM.

What ROM should I get?? 





Answer:

Check the 2 out from above by doing a demo of the XL-1 module(for 
the *X-Lead ROM)and the Orbit 3 module(for the *TSCY and *Beat 
Garden ROM's) Here are links to mp3 demo pages also:
