Thank you for this information. I guess I will have to try the XLead 
V2 and see how it goes.

Has anyone here worked with the X-Lead V2 in a command station, and 
edited the presets? It is hard to believe these ROMs would be 
incompatible (or not fully compatible for editing) across various 
Emu products. :-(

I may have to give Emu a call as well. The XL-7 was my first choice, 
but I am glad to have waited for the PX-7. I am shallow, and the PX 
looks nicer.
