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

So i've bought the XL7, and am not happy with the sound set. I am 
with the sequencer and effects. This box is loaded and peforms well 
as nerve center of a studio. But I'm shooting to more of a ambient 
dark soundscape trancey feel. I love pads, lots of them. I am 
considering getting a Triton LE, I have played those in a store and 
like them. But then again, i'm just paying for another sequencer and 
so forth. I'm wondering if perhaps there is something in the middle 
i'm missing? A module or synth sans a sequencer that will give what I 
seek? 

What about the Orbit ROMs? any good for that? 

Hmm.. Thanks in advance
