Hi John

The Vintage Synth ROM is a great way to get those familiar synth sounds of the
past. However, this accounts for that ROM being relatively rare and of higher
price on the resale market....$200 to $300 for it these days....

Thanks to all for the replies that search worked well. If I can find it
from what I'm reading the XL-7 may be the right upgrade path. If I read the
description on VINTAGE SYNTH EXPLORER correctly That or some more modules
with the right sounds already on them. I have to many keyboards now to add
anymore :) From now on out it's rack mounts only.

Roland JX-3P with PG-200 programmer
Roland HP6000s Digital Piano
2 Roland MT-32
Korg M1R
E-Mu XL-1
Kawai K1
Alesis QX6.1

2 Yamaha MV802 mixers

Oberheim Cyclone
Obeheim Strummer

Does the XL-1 have a master reset? Power on while holding key combination
or some such?

Welcome John !

The XL-1 has been out a while and the manufacturer no longer supports the
upgrade (which is a new motherboard). Your best bet for this is, when you
are ready, to find a XL-1 Turbo or Proteus 2000 (same features as turbo,
different ROM) on EBay sell yours...

As for the "Simms", these are ROMs available from sellers on EBay or users
here you want to sell. The traditional instrument one is called the
"composer" or "pop collection" ROM, see this site for some more info:

<<http://reviews.ebay.com/E-MU-Proteus-2000-Series-Expansion-Sound-ROM-Gui
de-EMU_W0QQugidZ10000000002148488>>

If you want a full keyboard with traditional instruments from the same
family, with 4 slots, 64 polyphony and aftertouch, look for a PK-6 (I have
one of these also)......

Here is an EBay search for all ROMs for the XL-1:

Just got the XL1, I'm impressed with the sounds it has but in reading I've
heard of the Turbo upgrade and Simms that can be added to the unit. I
can't
seem to find anyone selling these, maybe I'm not using the right terms to
search for them. The onboard sounds will really expand my range, but I'd
like to get a Simm with more traditional instruments on it. I probably
should have bought a different module, but I like this one, and if I can
upgrade it to make it even more useful I'll be extremely happy, and if I
can
get the turbo upgrade and add more simms I'll be ecstatic. Anyone know why
E-Mu stopped making this sort of module?
