which ROM for my future command station????

which ROM for my future command station????

2008-02-19 by filipovske

Hi,

I couldn't find straight answer on web...
I produce music for a while, got MK6 keyboard version of MOphatt Rom.
It's a bit limited, but it gives me a lot of fun. It's great for just 
ideas and sketches, Fx are horrible, but I like this instrument.
I am thinking about CS XL or PX. The idea is very simple.
I am an MPC guy, got 3000LE and 1000. CS with MPC is a killer setup, 
honestly. I play gigs and got rehearsals, so I need mpc1000 'cause 
it's portable. I think about XL7 or PX 7 just because it is portable 
and I can play with that and add another track on fly. I can't add 
any sample to MPC when seq. run, which is shame and lame;)
Instead I want add diffrent sounds from EMU, on the fly, so when I 
play with band I can build a song on fly.
I tried this with MK6 keyboards and it works great, but I am not 
gonna carry that thing...too big.
So CS is a great solution for me, plus it has sequencer (I like 
hardware ones) and SPDif ( analog out from MK6 are bit noisy), so I 
can use it in studio (SPDif) and on stage (analog outs).

I am not sure about banks/ROMs.

I need your help dear users.
Music I do is generally more urban than country;)
I was thinking about Virtuoso Series for MK6, just to have fast 
access to rhodes, pianos, hammonds and synths.
I don't know should I buy XL7 with extreme lead rom, or maybe PX7 
with Protean drums????
So I need your help. I know that EMU's CS are the same, different is 
only ROM.
I don't know it's worthy, maybe take PX7 with XL ROM ???

thanx for help in advance.

have a nice day
