TC Electronic M-One XL v2.0.9 ROM [WiN, MacOSX]

When I reviewed the M One back in SOS February 2000 I found it to be intuitive to use, with a good range of quality reverbs and effects, extremely flexible configuration options, and comprehensive interfacing. In fact, the machine was (and remains) hard to fault at the price, and only when comparing small room reverbs did it give any substantial ground to the similarly priced Lexicon MPX500. However, TC Electronic have recently introduced a new XL version of the M One, priced the same as the original in the UK. The majority of the new machine's physical form and signal processing structure remains identical, so I will highlight only the changes and new functions here. The only obvious physical changes are the new M One XL badge and the XLR analogue I/O in place of the original's TRS sockets. A menu option lets you feed the left input to both channels - previously done by automatic switching on the TRS sockets. Turning to the list of presets, the XL offers twice as many as the original machine, with two hundred factory presets plus a hundred user memories. In fact, factory presets 101 to 200 are identical to those of the standard M One, but a hundred new programs have been introduced from preset one to 100. As always keep that save for the future till the day comes. TC Electronic M-One XL v2.0.9 ROM P2P
