Just for fun, I checked out some pdf manuals.  The ROM Instruments 
listed in the XL-1 manual and XL-7 manual (OpMan F) appear to be 
identical.  (Note: OpMan G lists 1076 ROM Instruments as opposed to 
1211! Also, XL-7 OpMan F lists 182 riffs, but contains duplicate 
names; XL-7 OpMan G lists 314 riffs and contains even more duplicate 
names; XL-1 manual lists 152 riffs.)

HOWEVER, the names of the XL-1 and XL-7 presets appear to be 
different.  Locations of same named presets are also different. 

I assume that the patchcords, initial controller amounts, etc.  in 
the presets of the two different XL ROMS (12 controller presets v. 16 
controller presets.

THUS, if someone takes an XL ROM from an XL-1 turbo (for example) and 
puts it in a non-XL Command Station, they might want to set up User 
Banks so they have the XL-7 presets as they exist in the XL-7 itself.

If someone uploads the XL-7 dumps, I would be willing to work with 
others to try to automate the conversion for the XL-1 ROM.  (As I 
understand it from the list, E-Mu has created user loadable banks so 
that XL-7 owners have the XL-1 presets assigned to the XL-7 ROM.)
