Hey,
I am looking at purchasing one of the new Halo keyboards which has an 
updated Sounds-of-the-ZR ROM, and sent a message to both EMU and 
William Coakley regarding the piano presets which had programming 
errors in the ZR ROM version.  My question and Mr Coakley's response 
are pasted below.  Would someone from EMU please reply as I have had 
no response from a direct email.
Thanks
Peter

I am looking at purchasing one of the new EMU-Ensoniq keyboards called 
Halo.  It has the same soundset used in the Sounds of the ZR ROM plus 
an extra bank of presets, and, presumably, a different ROM id number. 
 At www.williamcoakley.com there are 5 presets to be downloaded that 
use the Coakley's Perfect Piano samples in the ROM, apparently 
correcting some crossfading that wasn't set up real well in the ROM 
presets.  I am suspecting that if I try and download the presets into 
the Halo, because the ROM id is (presumably) different, it won't work. 
 Can somebody let me know if this is the case, and if the presets at 
www.williamcoakley.com will be made available in a version for the 
Halo, with the id numbers changed, as I am going to purchase the Halo 
more or less on the grounds that it has Coakley's perfect piano in it.

Mr Coakely's response:
I brought this up to Emu folks at the trade show in January. They were 
going to ship me a Halo for tweeking but
   stuff like that usually never happens when you think... I still 
haven't heard from anyone over there. But all that aside,
   they were supposed to have downloaded my corrections and put them 
into the unit. I cannot verify if this has
   actually been done or not. And since I still don't have a unit to 
check, I can't vouch for anything at the moment.
