is this rom worth purchasing for some realistic instrument sounds. im 
looking for some regular synthesizer/keyboard sounds for my mp7 of 
good quality. if not what would be the best thing

The piano of the ZR rom is fanstastic, but the factory presets is not 
good at all. Yet, with some tweaking I managed to make a very nice 
piano preset.

The rest of the sounds is bad. Okey, there's some cute electric 
pianos I often use, as well as some other presets, but I think most 
is quite weak. Not recommended.

For me it was worth getting it - for it's piano.

Unless you really want that high quality piano - get "Proteus Pop 
Collection" instead which is probably much better. I've listened to 
the Proteus 2500 in a local music store, and it sounds great.

I wouldn't ditch the ZR Rom because there are some nice 80 synth 
basses on it, and a few decent drums as well. 
And the (E)Pianos are cool indeed.

So many ROM, so little slots. :)

The composer Rom is good for all round stuff, though somewhat heavy on the
'fake orchestra' sounds, which are rather useless outside of hiphop. Plenty
of synths.

I kept ahold of mine specificly for the electric pianos.
