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

I have Protean Drums, X-Lead V2, Pure Phatt.

One more slot.

What to do?

Other gear I have:  
Alesis QS-R with Latin Expansion
Yamaha CS1x
Novation KS-4
Reason 2.5
Logic Pro (when it's released) = the soft synths

So any opinions on which ROM I should get to max out my px-7?
I'm thinking the Beat Garden one, for all the cool percussion.  But 
I'm just looking for opinions.  I basically do stuff from all kinds 
of genres, so any one of the ROMs is really an option.

So what's your favorite ROM, and why?

Can anyone comment on this ROM? I've got the same: 2 spots to fill. 
I want drums and percussion only. I have Protean and Vintage.

---Too bad the World ROM has been discontinued; it has great 
percussion and world drums as well as stringed and wind ethnic 
instruments.  The Vintage is very good indeed, with nice classic-rock 
kits and electronic sets along with analog synths and organ, 
mellotron etc.  I just ordered the Orchestral V2 to fill my 4th slot.

Hello group,

I'm new over here. A 31 years old guy from Holland. Computer 
sequencers made me sick, so I've bought a XL-7 for hardware 
sequencing. Enough about me.

I owned a Novation KS-5. I was very pleased about it. One day 
Rob "Beat Garden" Papen visited my home. He also had a quick look at 
the Novation. His first impression... he was very pleased about the 
sound, the features and the very good keyboard!

Besides that I have one recommendation. If you own a (fast) computer, 
wait for the upcoming ReMote 49/61 Audio Xtreme! Why?

I already own a Remote25 Aduio Xtreme. It's a very nice controller 
but the 49/61 will be even better due the bigger keyboard. Besides 
that the Remote25 infact is a full K-Station (after OS update) and 
comes with V-Station, a softsynth with the exact same capabillities 
as a KS synth.

Because of the OS update, I guess the 49/61 will also get an 
update... a KS synth OS.

The KS-4 is a really nice synth, my girlfriend has the K-Station, and I 
use the V-Station all the time.  I think the Novation VA's have a reall 
smooth sound.  If you can afford it though, the Virus C would whoop it's 
ass, IMVHO of course :)

I love it!  Sure I'd rather have a Virus C, or both for that matter :p

I havn't played with it's vocoder yet, so I can't comment on that...

The Virus C wasn't within budget (I found the KS-4 on clearance for 
$499)

Just to clarify:

The V-Station has the capabilities of the K/A-Station synths, not the 
KS-4/5/Rack (difference between the K/A-Station and the KS-4/5/Rack 
is the number of available waveforms and 8 voice poly vs 16 voice 
poly. there may be other differences, but those are the only two that 
come to mind)

The V-Station (one instance of it) is the same as a K-Station. But 
you can have four instances running at once, which makes it the same 
as a KS-synth (KS-rack, KS-4 and KS-5).
The difference is that the KS is four times a K-Station. It is 16 
voices polyphonic instead of the 8 voices of a K-Station.
On the other hand, a V-Station is 8 voices per instance... that makes 
32 voices!

Huh? I posted a reply to this information because it's not 100% 
right. The message is gone (?).

The KS synth is 16 voices polyfonic indeed. Besides that it's four 
times a K-Station: the K-Station is one part multi, a KS is four 
parts. 

A V-Station can run four instances of it self, with 8 voices per 
instance. So four instances are the same as one KS.

I just installed my first... the proteus pop in my PX-7 last night.  
Really great sounds and I think it complements the drum rom well.  I 
would highly recomend it.

I would like to get an orchestra rom next anyone have a suggestion on 
which one?  I like individual instruments over complete sections.

But it's a lot more work to crossfade using velocity :p
