Hi John,

I know it sounds obvious but try Ebay....search under EMU ROM and see
what pops up. Alternatively put a wanted advert in the Readers Ads
section of Sound On Sound (www.soundonsound.com).

EMU stopped making these modules because they decided to get out of
hardware and move into software sounds instead....shame.

Here's a list of the expansion ROMs you can get:

Siedlaczek Orchestra 32 MB ROM.
Pure Phatt 32 MB ROM - standard in Mo'Phatt, MP-7 and MK-6.
Beat Garden 32 MB ROM - standard in Orbit 3.
Protozoa 16 MB ROM - standard in Proteus 1, 2, 3.
Definitive B-3 32 MB ROM - standard in B-3.
Techno Synth Construction Yard 32 MB ROM - standard in Orbit 3.
Orchestral Session Vol. 1 32 MB ROM - standard in Virtuoso 2000.
Orchestral Session Vol. 2 32 MB ROM - standard in Virtuoso 2000.
World Expedition 32 MB ROM - standard in Planet Earth.
Sounds of the ZR feat. Perfect Piano 32 MB ROM - standard in Ensoniq
Halo.
X-Lead 32 MB ROM - standard in Xtreme Lead-1, XL-7 and XK-6.

But you'll probably want the Composer ROM that comes in the Proteus
2000 if you want 'ordinary' sounds.

By the way, if you think the XL-1 is good, try and get hold of a
Command Station too(either XL-7 or MP-7)...I think they're awesome.

Tom
