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

not sure exactly what you are saying but the zr-76
rom is good for drums
you best look at the individual wave form list for all the roms
you have that gives a guide to what you can make by layering
up to four of them
the zr-76 rom seems to be mainly drums and perc
once you take out the 50% of the space allocated to the perfect piano
you could get an emulator x and use a laptop with the software 
versions instead

to. I think i might just need to buy 2 more roms for it but there are 
alot of sounds i use constantly ( like drum kits i have made ) that i 
would like to have access to. I also have a asr-x with the urban 
dance rom which i really like and i think there is a ensoniq rom for 
the emu out there but i am not sure if it is the same sounds and i 
use alot of the basses and such on that. When you make a rom i am 
guessing you gain the ability to use all the patchchord and effects 
with it. Was there a way to program in the use of the modulation knob 
on the command station? Like some sounds you can add vibrato or fills 
to the drums and such? Sorry for so many questions but i am really 
into my commandstation and this would be a really nice way to make it 
even more usable for me. I

acoustic instrument reproductions, I used the maximum of 2 samples 
per octave. In many cases, I wanted to capture a sound that was 
useful only in a very limiting frequency range, so I used 1 or 2 
samples for the whole keyboard.....

compression of sample data, the 15.9MB sample bank that I created on 
the sampler was all I could fit on the 16MB ROM. However, some of my 
samples were in the range of .5 to 2 seconds in length, much larger 
than sometimes is necessary as I was including the portions of the 
wave that morphed and changed pitch in time rather than create a 
shorter fixed frequency/low modulation loop and let the XL7/PK6/XL1 
perform the modulation in real time.....with a few of the factory 
ROMS and one or two custom ROMS, there might be every thing I 
need.....

you cant fit as many waveforms as the facotry but could you make a 
useful rom? Thanks.
