Tom,
You said:

"You would probably be better off getting the MP-7 and adding the
Drum rom since you can get the exact rom from the Px-7 that works
with all patterns, but not the exact rom from the MP-7. JUst
something to keep in mind."

The thing is, I don't really want the pre-made patterns - just the 
presets. I like to work from scratch (ie: not using existing 
patterns). I'm a very lazy man - if I have preset patterns to start 
with, I'll likely just use them as the basis for my tunes. :) Does 
the Pure Phatt ROM have all the same presets as the MP-7? 
Fab
