P2000 ROM stuff and more

2002-06-07 by erik_magrini@Baxter.com

I think that it is called the Composer ROM if I'm not mistaken?

>>>I think the P2000 Rom (it's the same as from the PK-6) is going to be 
called the Pop Rom or something.  Aaron told us, I'm too lazy to go look 
it up right now though, need more coffee first... <<<

The "deal" that rEalm mentioned is found on the Emu website, just click on 
"shop Emu" and you'll see it.  That particular deal is for the World 
Expedition ROM plus a gig bag, the rack ears, and a gooseneck lamp.  All 
for $379.

>>>Yeah, that's it, although the paper I got said "your choice of Sound 
Rom".  Not sure if they have only selected list you can choose from, or if 
it means you really get to pick ANY Rom. <<<

As a pianist, I am very critical of most piano sounds out on the market 
today.  I purchased a
Kurzweil 2600XS last year only to return it due to the crappy voicing of 
their piano sounds.

>>>My girlfriend has a K2600XS too.  I personally dig the piano in it a 
lot, but that's always in the context of a mix in my case, I don't play 
solo piano. <<<

Hats off to rEalm for his "over the top" contributions to this list!

>>>No problem, it's fun for me, and if it helps others, even better.  I 
may not always know what I'm talking about, but at least I pretend I do :) 
 BTW, anyone tried out those softsynth multisetups yet?  I thought for 
sure those would generate at least SOME responce.... <<<

I'm still trying to figure out what to do with this glaring yellow look 
though.  I wonder if there are any users out there who actually like it? 
I'm thinking of masking off selected areas (like where the words are) and 
just spray painting it.  Some wording is superfluous in my book, like 
"touchstrip" or "12VDC Lamp"

>>>Hehehe, yeah I don't know ANYONE who likes the yellow, it's too dull 
and boring.  Now if it was Ferrari or Ducati yellow, THAT would be cool! 
Yeah, I thought about masking off everything but the selected areas to at 
first, now I might just paint the whole damn thing and write the labels on 
with a magic marker :)  Then I can call it the GX-7 (Ghetto XL-7)!  Oh 
well, so far the idea of having a graphics shop make me a lettering 
template based ont eh current on isn't going so well.  I've got 3 quotes 
and it's been between $200-$370 for the work.  Pretty expensive! <<<
