From talking with EMU, the new XLead "v2" ROM is actually the presets
from the XL-1 with an aditional bank (a total of 640?). This new bank
is made up of the "best" of the XL-7 presets.
I believe the answer to your other question is that the rom included
in the purchase of the XL-7 was actually the same as the "XLEAD v1"
ROM for sale as an add on ROM. The new ROM would have quite a few
differences from that ROM, as it's presets mostly come from the XL-1
rack unit.
I think it's a good deal. they give you 640 presets that contain the
XL-1 sounds and some XL-7 sounds. What you can then do is use the
midi file mentioned in an earlier reply to add any other XL-7 sounds.
One hitch, the arp patterns on the ROM may be different, but you may
not care about that too much if you only write your own.
