What a good idea!!
Another synth of mine (Evolution EVS1) has 80 ROM presets and only 20 user patches... Why keep it? It is a rare machine, it can do a lot of things (FM, additive and phase distorsion synthesis, very complete MIDI implementation) and the second hand price is nearly 0... Being a 1U rack it is not very bulky.
Cheers
