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

Some are the same, some are different. I'd say if you have the 
Protean Drums and XL ROMs you have most of what is in the Vintage, 
drum-wise, as the Vintage has the fewest drums of the three, many of 
which are duplicated in the other two. There are some sounds that 
seem to be unique to the Vintage, though, which I did not expect.

Compared to the XL ROM, the Vintage ROM contains the SP-1200, SK-1, 
and MS-20 sounds from the Protean Drums as well as a few 808 and 909-
ish sounds (few of the samples are named anything more descriptive 
than "Kick 19", and there is no keymap available) that are not in the 
XL. The acoustic kits (I believe there are two) don't seem to come 
from either XL or PX. If you want more electronic drum sounds and 
don't want the (very realistic) acoustic kits of the PX ROM then the 
Vintage might make sense, but due to the overlap with the XL you'll 
probably get more mileage out of something like the TSCY ROM, which 
has lots of 909 samples.

For me it was nice to get a few more drum samples to work with, as 
the primary function of my Command Station is drum programming, but 
it wasn't a significant factor in my decision to get the ROM, which 
has other strengths.
