As an alternative to find ROM upgrades, find a local music retail store that
honors sale prices from other stores and nowadays the internet as well.
You should be able to but the ROM upgrades quicker that way. Thats what
I did and got the Techno Synth ROM card at the same price Musician's Friend
had it without the wait. Chances are you will have to wait sometimes if you
buy in online.

  Thorsten.  DO NOT buy the XL7 for its sequencer.  Buy it for the 
  proteus engine.  Buy it because it looks kewl and your friends will 
  be jealous.  Buy it because chicks dig it.  But if you buy it 
  thinking it's going to be a standalone midi controller sufficient to 
  replace your PC or whatever you are using now then you are in for a 
  world of hurt.  The sequencer is buggy and strange.  Just read the 
  threads.  Maybe someday it will be able to go head to head with other 
  alternatives but that doesn't appear to be anytime soon.

  Also do not buy it if you think you will be able to get expansion 
  roms when you want them.  My order for techno construction at 
  Musician's Friend is 3 weeks old and still *back ordered*.  E-mu is 
  stingy with its roms for some reason.
