There was a project around in Elektor magazine a while back that converted
the DB50XG to work standalone without a PC and soundcard, but I've never
seen anything like it for the SW60XG. It might be possible but I think it
would be more trouble than it's worth. See if you can get the MU10XG cheap -
it's the same synth in a small case. You can use XGEdit or XG-Gold to edit
the sounds quite easily.
