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

I've been scouring the web trying to find this answer and so far can't 
seem to dig it up. 
My question is: How many of the ROM Boards did EMU make for the PK, XL 
and Proteous 2000 series ? 
Also, Is there a list of the patches and wave forms that were on these 
boards ? 
That would be great if I could get this info. 
Also which is the rareist of all boards at this time ? 
Is it Beat garden ? 

1 more thing, Is ther a valuation of the various boards out there (Not 
on prepal.com) Or does one just need to check Ebay frequently for 
pricing ?

Look forward to getting some answers on this topic.

Regards,
Vic

This is from memory - hopefully others will correct my errors:

Composer  (from the original Proteus 2000 module)
Protozoa (sounds of the original Proteus 1, 2, & 3 modules)
Definitive B3 (core of the B3 module)
Pure Phatt (core of the Mo'Phatt module)
Xtreme Lead (core of the Xtreme Lead 1 module)
Xtreme Lead V2 (core of the XL-7 Command Station)*
Techno Synth Construction Yard (half of the Orbit 3 module)
Beat Garden (half of the Orbit 3 module)
Orchestral Sessions Vol. 1 (half of the Virtuoso 2000 module)
Orchestral Sessions Vol. 2 (half of the Virtuoso 2000 module)
Siedlaczek Advanced Orchestra
Holy Grail Piano
World Expedition (core of the Planet Earth module)
Ensoniq Project (from the Ensoniq Real World & Urban Dance Project ROMs
MR/ZR keyboards and modules)
Sounds of the ZR (core of the Ensoniq Halo keyboard)
Protean Drums (core of the PX-7 Command Station)
Proteus Pop Collection (core of the Proteus 2500 module)
Vintage Collection (core of the Vintage Pro module)

* the XL-7 actually has its own version of the Xtreme Lead V2 with different
presets called the X-ROM

I have a PX-7 that has:  the Protean Drums ROM (standard), the X-ROM (from
an XL-7), the Pure Phatt ROM (actually from an MP-7), and the Beat Garden
ROM. This is a rather nice grouping of ROMs, methinks.

> Also, Is there a list of the patches and wave forms that were on these

Somewhere out there on the vast Internet, perhaps. I don't know of any main
source. This group's files section has more than a few instrument definition
files for Cubase and other sequencers, the patch listings are often there.

If you have a Mac and Digital Performer, the Expansion Board Setup program
has most of the ROMs to configure for patch names.

> Also which is the rareist of all boards at this time ?
> Is it Beat garden ?

I would say the World Expedition is the most sought after ROM at this point,
mostly because it is uniformly excellent and very, very rare.

The Vintage Collection ROM is also highly sought after and is also very
good.

The only ROMs I would recommend avoiding are:

Siedlaczek Advanced Orchestral (only two banks of patches and the samples
seem compromised in quality)

Holy Grail Piano (very limited and probably bettered by the Perfect Piano
stuff in the Sounds of the ZR ROM)

Ensoniq Project (about ten good sounds and the rest are pretty awful - good
actual samples though if you're into programming)

Composer (the Proteus Pop Collection is the same samples but much better
preset patches)

> 1 more thing, Is ther a valuation of the various boards out there (Not

Ebay sets the price. Most ROMs are going for over $150 and some are very
close to the original $240 price that E-mu used to sell them for.

I hope I've been helpful! :D

Mibrilane,
Thank you for the excellent info here. Actaully I was compiling a 
list of the boards as I am more than likely going to sell my XL-7. I 
had bought 3 roms from EMU last year befor they discontinued them. I 
was confused as one of the ROM's comes up QROM. It must be the sounds 
of the ZR board  beacuse it has Perfect Piano in it Anyway I know I 
had purchased Beat Garden and the Sounds of the ZR. The last of the 3 
was another I am confused about. I think it is the Composer ROM (It 
is named CMPSR). Originally I was just going to use the XL-7 as 
another Midi sound module. (Thus the Roms I bought.) I find myself 
not really using this piece much as I bought a new work station last 
year and a couple V/A modules. Also, doing quite a bit with software 
in my compositions these days. And, I could use the money to boot.

All said and done. I was going to compile my prices off Ebay's 
current and sold listings. Looks like out of my Rom's, the most 
valuable one I have is Beat garden. 

I'm working with an interested party locally But, Thought I'd throw 
this info out here to see if anyone is interested. 

Here is what I will be selling:
Xl-7 with manual and goose neck lamp (Mint cond)
Composer Rom- 
Sounds of the ZR Rom
Beat Garden Rom

If anyone is interested, drop me a line at luvmyhonda2 @ yahoo.com
(don't forget to remove the spaces in the e-mail address). I'm a 
strong Ebayer with 100% postive feedabck. Feedback profile of 94. I 
can take Paypal. Thought I'd hit up the group first. We can do a 
straight Paypal deal or, I could do a private Ebay auction. Would 
prefer straight Paypal however. Saves me a nickel. 

Anyway, thanks again for the list.

Take Care,
Vic

That's a shame.  I hate all that complete info Mibrilane wrote to go to waste so maybe we should put it in some form in the files section........

Bob,
I'll try to compile this info to either a text or Word doc and upload 
to the files section. You're right it is a shame that I would sell 
such a fine piece of gear as the XL-7. Damn taxes !!! Need the 
money !! Agreed though.. Mibrilane did an excelent job of compiling 
this info.

Later,
Vic

Thanks Vic.

And you don't have to leave the group if you think there is still useful information to share (or maybe you might re-purchase the XX-7)........

Thanks Bob,

After leaving this message today, I fired up the headphones and 
listened to some drums and pads off the Beat Garden Rom. Man, I'm 
torn. I love the souds in this little beast. I hate to sell anything 
I like. Anyway, let me do some soul searching here. I haven't spent 
enough time writing patterns with this unit, thus why I decided to 
look at it first for the sell. I did go get the manual printed in 
spiral bound fashion from the pdf a few weeks ago so, I have the  
info to to learn this thing. Anyway, I'll entertain offers. Why can't 
I just hit the lottery or something like that. That would be too 
simple.  :-)

BTW, I posted a word doc in the file area. Check it out.

Bye for now,
Vic

I'd like to suggest that the info be put into a simple HTML doc. That 
way if we get a bunch of these tibits in one folder, someone can 
design an HTML index with links to the individual tidbits. Also, as 
people go through the archives, we can have an HTML index of links to 
tips and things.

Somewhere I have a list of the ROMS and their IDs; I also think Aarom 
posted a list recently.

The sample HTML style index to archived messages I set up is still 
there.  Check it out; it will give you an idea of what I have in mind.

Steve,
Looks great. As well your ROM table looks good for instrumanet 
definition. Unfortunately my HTML is rusty. Please feel free to proceed 
uploading the data from the word doc to a simplet HTMl with Hyperlinks.

Later,
Vic

Thanks for the props, Bob, but as I look through the files section 
I've come across this:

http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/xl7/message/17128

This lists all of the ROMs as well as their bank select messages. 
Very useful stuff. This is what makes groups like this great.

Ok, DUH. I just responded to a message with a link to this message, 
not realizing that this had been sent to the list in the last few 
days. It's late here, and I guess that's showing. :-|

Nice list, Steve. Thanks. Very useful.
