Please help me guys to pick the right one. The thing is I want the sound of
TCY and Beatgarden.
If I buy the Rom Cards and put them into XL-7s, I can use the Xl-7's Seq and
Arp.
If I buy the Orbit 3, I have 16 additional Midi channels(which I value alot)
but no onboard Arp/Seq.
Is it possible to use the XL-7s Seq/Arp on Orbit 3 sounds?

Please help me making the right decision. I'm running out of time.

I bave both ROMs in my XL-7 now, I am not sure what you mean by 16 
additional MIDI channels, as the XL-7 can address 32 channels on 
output.

I think the Orbit3 and the XL-7 are very similary in terms of "guts" 
but the XL-7 has the nice UI and the sequencer of love.

I can attest that the XL-7 will run both of the Rob P ROMs (TSCY and 
Beat Garden) with very pleasing results and room left over for a 
flash ROM full of your own waveforms.

I meant by 16 additional my XL-7's 16 midi channals IN plus Orbit 3's 16
midi channels IN, which would give me 32 independend midi tracks.
