Well, the big US NAMM show is in a little more than a week. Anyone care to speculate on what EMu (or anyone else for that matter) will be showing that is new and shiny? Bruce I for one am hoping that they announce an OS upgrade that has some nicer sounding filters for the P2K family (including our wonderful XL- 7)

Well I think Emu already said they would have a new OS out around NAMM, but I don't know about new filters. I'm guessing we'll see some more bug fixes (pattern lengths can't be less than one measure, notes being stuck when recorded over measures with record quantize on, etc). I'd also wager the new OS will make the USB port function, and that a new version of E-Loader will be released to take advantage of that too (Preset saving as well?). New features wish list? 1. Hmmm, it'd be cool to see a field in the "Paste Clipboard" screen that let you specify the amount of times to paste. 2. A way to select whether Paste commands Overwrite or Merge the MIDI Data. Both of these features (#1 above) would save me so much time! Nothing like trying to copy measure 3 through out an 8 measure previously recorded pattern. You've got to cut the data you don't want twice, then copy the measure you do want. Then you've got to paste, scroll, scroll, paste 7 times :) 3. Hmm, a warning notice if you're about to overwrite a preset that's linked to another one. 4. A graphical Preset Editor for the PC, although I know that's pushing it :) rEalm Well, the big US NAMM show is in a little more than a week.

Personally, I would like to see a ROM expansion for the Proteus series synths that has the sound set from the Orbit 3....has anybody else on this board heard those sounds?!?! DAY-UM! So I just got my XL-7 last Saturday. I've had limited time to fool with it, so even after the little I've done, I'm finding out just how much this thing has under the hood. ...and to think I was impressed with the XL-1. Also....anyone know if the "E-Loader" software allows for proper archiving of user banks, or is that strictly a function of sysex dump to a sequencer?

Stick a Techno Synth ROM and a Beat Garden ROM in your XL7 and you have an Orbit3 in there. Cheers! Bruce --- In xl7@y..., "sonicgraffiti" <sonicgraffiti@a...> wrote:

Sonic,............also, anything that you need to know about the Orbit 3, it's ROM's, it's demo's, specifications, etc..............can be found here......... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/orbit3 I have had the TSCY#9084(Techno Synth Construction Yard)ROM since "99" in my P2K and just added the Beat Garden#9063 to the P2K last month. SWEEEET! Very nice addition to the original Techno sound ROM. I have all the complete demos at the link above and go to the bookmarks section for a link to Rob's site for individual preset demos.

Right!! Thanks. I've heard the demo's and I love them (for a demo's sake), so I know what my next addition to this XL is going to be. -Steve --- In xl7@y..., "emufreak1" <mmcquay@m...> wrote: > Sonic,............also, anything that you need to know about the > Orbit 3, it's ROM's, it's demo's, specifications, > etc..............can be found here......... > > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/orbit3 > > I have had the TSCY#9084(Techno Synth Construction Yard)ROM > since "99" in my P2K and just added the Beat Garden#9063 to the P2K > last month.

If you look in the files section of the link I gave you earlier, open up the Orbit 3 manual, go to the appendix and check the preset listings by bank compared to the individual bank pages that I have listed in the Techno ROM folder. I have the original ROM purchased back in "99" which didn't have the arps. Later, M2

I JUST got my ROM this past weekend, so I'm pretty sure I have the newer version (2). If I'm not correct it's been out for quite sometime now. I'll check out that file section (I don't know if you noticed, but I joined the message board you directed me to :o)). -Steve --- In xl7@y..., "emufreak1" <mmcquay@m...> wrote: > --- In xl7@y..., "sonicgraffiti" <sonicgraffiti@a...> wrote: > > > I have the TSCY expansion in this XL-7, but the dooood at the music

Steve, The easiest way to check the ROM is to go to preset 127 in bank 3 (which will usually be a default or template as Rob put's in)and it should give you the ROM version #. Let me know which one you have. Later, M2 p.s.
