Umm, I was allowed to purchase it a bit early as Emu's way of saying thanx 
for my work on this list. 

Sorry, I forgot it's not actually in stores yet.  Maybe you can order one 
direct from Emu, I know they're giving them away to users who bought a 
Command Station recently?  If not, I seem to remember Aaron saying that 
they would be out in July I think, not too far away, and definitely worth 
the wait!

Where you found that deal? Emu store, online store or local store, if you 
can please mention a name.

I think you only get info on that package deal if you order a ROM from 
them first, not sure.  It was a flyer they included in the package the ROM 
came in.

I kept my Composer ROM specificly for the electric pianos. Their not
perfect, but they're better than any of the ones on the other ROMs. It's use
them on pretty much every track. I'd recomend them - they won't stand up to
the real thing, or a good simulation (such as the Emagic EVP) but they sound
good in the mix. To my ears, the EVP is often a little too complex to sound
good in a complex arrangement, with out some engineering.

Thanx for the counterpoint!  I'm not pianist, so my opinions are extremely 
biased and unfounded! :)

Probably worth getting, since it's free. Certainly, E-mu UK are
offering it as a promotional offer during June. I bought my XL-7
mid-May, but called E-mu, sent a copy of the sales receipt and the
registration card, and the ROM arrived a couple of days ago.

Hi Nick,

is this promotional offer only valid in the UK or also for the rest of Europe, e.g. Germany? I've bought my mp7 5 weeks ago and would be glad to get a P2000 ROM, too.

Tom, i also got my XL7 in the UK about a month before the P2000 ROM offer came out, so i emailed their customer services dept, and they said that the offer was only available in the US and that was because they create promos like this based on the market where they are offered.

They went on to say that a similar offer would be available in Europe in May or June (so i guess June now), but they said that because they care about their customers, such as me, and because the P2000 ROM is not available to buy normally, they were willing to offer me any one of their ROMs at 1/2 price as a kind of alternative.

So, if i were you i'd send them a mail...

john.

Dunno - I heard from the folks I bought the unit from (Digital
Village, London) and confirmed by calling E-mu's sales people in
Scotland.

Hi,

I was asking just the same thing after I read about a special promo 
of the XX-7 in Germany. Except they were offering a p2500 card if my 
memory serves me right. 
They told me just the same as they told john. I asked them I would be 
interested in the p2500 card and i f there ´d be a special offer as 
new buyers of the xx-7 are getting the card for free. Didnt get any 
answer so far...

anybody?

Heinrich

Heinrich,

I sent an e-mail to EMU Europe and they answered that they can offer me a 50% discount for a ROM I prefer (not the P2500 which is not for sale!!??).
