Honestly, trying to describe the way th sequencer functions is going
to be a REALLY lengthy post.  I suggest you take a look at the PDF
manual which you can get for free from either the files section of
this group, or from the Emu website.

I think that f you're into indie rock as well as house, you might want
to check out the PX-7 instead.  The drum samples are way better than
the ones on the MP or XP, and it has lots ofother sounds as well.  I
would recommend that coupled with the P2500 ROM instead, I think 
those two roms offer more.

As for how hard the ROMs are to install, it's very easy.  Each ROM you
buy from Emu comes with directions for this, and you can find them
again in the files section of this group as well.
