Re: [xl7] Re: Q: where'd the 'beats' go?

Then, OS 1.31 will allow use of beats off of any sound rom in the catalog?

>>>As long as those Sound Roms have beats Presets on them, then yes. <<<

A salesman told me that the beats on the sound roms were not identical to 
the beats found on the sound modules or the command stations.  Is this 
true?  How about the new keyboards?

>>>Don't know, Emu? <<<

Central question:  Is there a difference between the 16 channel/track 
beats/patterns found on the:  modules (xl-1 & mo'phatt), mp/xl-7, sound 
roms, and mk/xk-6? 

>>>Personally I think you're putting too much stake in beats mode, it's 
fun for about 5 minutes :) <<<

We seem to have a four way split in how the same synth data is handled!  I 
assume the new OS addresses this to some degree.  Does it bridge the 
differences?

>>>What differences are you talking about?  All of the newer Emu gear 
shares the same Sound Roms, so there's really not much difference other 
than the physical casings for the most part.  The keyboards only have 64 
poly, while the XX-7's have 128 poly.  Othe differences? <<<
