Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

rEalm,
Let me get this straight....If I were to buy any one of these three 
machines, I can just pick up ROM packages (ie: Protean Drums, 
Mo'Phatt or Xtreme Lead) and install them on my version (let's say 
the XL-7), virtually giving me all three options in one handy 
machine? That makes the MC-505 look like an absolute joke, and I LOVE 
the 505! Wow, I cannot believe I haven't heard of these machines 
before now! Does the PX-7 have bass tones/synth tones/lead tones/etc. 
installed in it, or is it simply a drum machine (unless you add the 
other ROM packages)?
