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

The samples in the Pop ROM and the Composer ROM are identical.  The
presets are (subjectively) better on the Pop ROM, though there are half
as many of them (4 banks instead of 8).  I'd wholeheartedly recommend
keeping the Pop ROM and skipping CMPSR.

Vintage and Pop should have 0% overlap IIRC, the vintage was from
mostly new stuff.  I'd wholeheartedly recommend *getting* the Vintage -
it's really good stuff.  The DRUM ROM is extraordinarily good too, and
is also all new samples.
