Then, OS 1.31 will allow use of beats off of any sound rom in the 
catalog?

A salesman told me that the beats on the sound roms were not 
identical to the beats found on the sound modules or the command 
stations.  Is this true?  How about the new keyboards?

Central question:  Is there a difference between the 16 channel/track 
beats/patterns found on the:  modules (xl-1 & mo'phatt), mp/xl-7, 
sound roms, and mk/xk-6?  

Soon after finding no beats on the command stations I tried out the 
new keyboards.  (If I could get the same 'functionality' out of a 
$599 keyboard as I could a $950 command station, then great.)  Again, 
somewhat different behavior from both the sound modules and the 
command stations!  That is, I could use 'beats', but they didn't seem 
to sync as seemlessly as riffs and patterns on the command stations?  
(Maybe I didn't take enough time to get sync as I had to leave too 
soon.)

We seem to have a four way split in how the same synth data is 
handled!  I assume the new OS addresses this to some degree.  Does it 
bridge the differences?
