Hi, I am a fairly new owner of a PK-7, which I'm primarily using as a sound module as I've only learned sequencing in software so far. I frequently see various E-Mu Proteus line modules for sale on my local Craig's list. Some of them sound interesting, but I'd like to have a resource to know which ones are compatible with Prodatum and which ones have ROMs that could be used in a Command Station. Is there a general resource for this information? Thanks DF

I guess I'm just gonna have to 'bump' myself. Bad form, I know, but surely I'm not asking an obscure question?
Or, am I ignored because I admitted I'm not a hardware sequencer? :_(

Hello DF I'm not sure about prodatum, but the Rom cards in all the P2K synths are interchangable and compatable with the Command Stations. I have owned almost all the Proteus line of modules and had the cards switch out in all kinds of combinations. -Nate 08n0n80 On Mar 23, 2010, at 9:24 AM, D F Tweedie <bienpegaito@...> wrote: I guess I'm just gonna have to 'bump' myself.

Thanks Nate!
So P2K is the magic modifier.
I didn't know whether there were other E-Mu synths with ROMs that were incompatible. But I guess I can't go wrong with the 2PK. That should narrow down my Googling to something manageable.
I'm sure that Prodatum will work with any 2PK modules, so I'm sure it will read any 2PK ROM as well.
Thanks again.

Yup. It should be fine. That's how I did it. Good luck and enjoy the adventure! -Nate 08n0n80 On Mar 23, 2010, at 12:08 PM, D F Tweedie <bienpegaito@...> wrote: Thanks Nate!

Hello again DF, I was just thinking you could also check out http://www.emu.com/support/welcome.asp?centric=556 for further support and info on all the Legacy Gear. You can get all the manuals and OS upgrades there.
