There's three - the v1 and v2 are the same unit. The v3 is really completely
different synth.

The orbit v3 is the new one. Hmm. Looks like you can get it for about the price
of the beat garden and TYCS ROM separately, unless there is a sale on ROMS at
emu (there usually is :>)

If you bought the Orbit v3, you could take the ROMs out and put them in your
XL-7. And you'ld have 8 ROMS slots to play with. MMmm..
