Orbit rom in MP7?

Orbit rom in MP7?

2009-10-12 by carter_bigjohnson2000

I have an old EMU ORBIT v1, was just wondering if I could take the rom out of it and put it in my MP7, i think its only 8mb I'm pretty sure.

No can do, it is a different type.... the Orbit 3, proteus 1000 2000, mo phatt can,... but not planet phatt or Carnival or Orbit v1 or v2, they are the old models.
Good luck...

You can trigger the orbit 1 or 2 module via MIDI though

Thank you,

Other than one filter I've seen on the Orbit "Bottom Feeder", my MP-7 has all the filters the Orbit does. I've heard alot of the same samples from the orbit on the XL-7 rom. I guess I'm trying to justify keeping it. It still can sound cool, but can't the MP-7 do the same thing.. even a little better?

Hi All,
I'm just wondering, (and this might sound like sacrilege to some) has anyone done any circuit bending/modding to the older EMU modules??

Just wondering, why would someone do this? What kind of functionality would be added by modifying the gear?

I do have a broken UltraProteus that cannot receive midi. Other than that, the synth engine and display seems perfect. If I could somehow modify it to accept/generate data comparable to what comes via midi, I'd be willing to try some mods.

Have you done mods?
