Re: [xl7] Re: get presets from other ROM?

2004-06-19 by Aaron Eppolito

The Pop ROM has an extra bank than the P2500 ROM has.  Here's the
lowdown on the infamous EROM2 samples...

CMPSR = 8 (7?) banks of presets, seemingly old sounding IMHO
P2500 = 4 banks, better presets (again IMHO)
PK6 = 5 banks, P2500 + additional keyboard and beats presets
Pop = same as PK6

You'd definitely want the Pop ROM as opposed to the P2500 ROM as it is
a superset, and the extra bank is good.

PS. take all this with a grain of salt, it's been 2 years since I
worked at E-mu and my memory's fuzzy...  (or maybe that was just the
few glasses of wine I just had)
