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

an XL-7 + Pure Phatt ROM does not give you the presets, patterns or 
songs of a MP-7.

for an explanation why, see my message #270. bummer that no one 
bothered replying to my message...

since then i've gone cross-eyed staring at hexadecimal sysex dumps 
of patterns but have found the bytes to patch to point at presets in 
different ROM boards and User memory. this is maybe halfway to a 
solution, assuming there isn't any check-sum to have to figure out 
for the sysex dumps.
