Where can I purchase the Protean Drums Rom?

I bought mine about two weeks ago from an eBay store called 
AudioMidiGear. They were very cool people to deal with. I'm not sure 
if they have any left, but if they do, you'd better hurry. That's the 
only place I could find one, and I searched everywhere.

Alright - no offence taken. By the time I got around to calling them, 
they had changed the status on their website from "In Stock" to "Call 
For Availability." I didn't get into it too much with the guy I was 
speaking with, because he seemed like a nice guy. I just got off the 
phone and started looking everywhere I could for this ROM. Luckily, I 
did find one, and after installing it into my XL-7, I'm damn glad I 
managed to track one down. Good luck to anyone who's looking - it's 
worth the trouble.

ummm......where'd ya say u got it?  lol!! ;-p  and how much?  i know the emu 
site was blowin' em out for $149.....prolly why  they're gone.  didnt this 
happen to another rom.  the world sounds or summat?

i  doubt you got it for less.  sorry i jumped ya.  i figured they had tons 
and i know realm digs it.  that's all i'm looking for pretty much. phat beats 
and some weird melodic synth pads.  maybe some wicked electronic basslines....

tx..

plastic

midi junkies.....gonna fuck u up!!!

    ATR

I soooo regret sleeping on the ROM blow out they had a couple of 
months back. That was the time to buy. I want the Vintage, world, 
and Ensoniq Project ROMs and they are GONE! Damn you Emu. Damn you 
for being so fine.

I did manage to order the X-Lead V2 and Protozoa for $160 so I'm not 
complaining.

If anyone is selling a vintage ROM, please let me know.

trust me, you do NOT want the Ensoniq Project ROM. it is highly 
craplicious. Vintage is sweet, though, if you're looking for that late 
'70s thang.

i've had both Ensoniq ROMs and they were both mostly crap, with a few 
diamonds but certainly not worth the price of admission.

yes indeed.

here's what's bothering me - you go to E-mu's site, click on the ROMs 
blowout, it takes you to the pre-redesign ROMs page, with some amazing 
prices (Beat Garden for $49 ???) but no links to buy anything. going to 
the store, then to the ROMs section, shows most sold out and nothing 
under $99. gyp!

oh well. i've got all four ROM slots filled with good ones. does 
someone want to sequence taps? which ROM would be the best one to use 
for that?

sold out, but there still a few there at $59 and $69
try this link: http://www.soundfont.com/roms/index.html

site. but going to there web store yields this:
http://www.emu.com/shop/shopcategory.asp?Category=299#309

Perhaps your browser is incompatable with their web store. I don't 
get redirected to the emu domain, I just hit the buy now button under 
the ROM I want on the soundfont page and everything works fine. I've 
placed 2 orders, the last one yesterday,

whee! it seems that Apple Safari doesn't do the links properly on my 
system. Mozilla Firefox does, though. nifty!

Hi All, The Protean drum rom turned up today and was in the XL-7 
within 5 minutes.. Loads of samples and kits in there.
So Thomann in Germany have them in stock.
Think ive also cured the buzz problem with the headphone jack, just 
had to tighten all the screaws down around the case work seems fine 
now :o)
Just need a few days off to get my head into this box! (tomorro...)
