Welcome to the club !
You can download patches on the website, or may i say you could ? You'll 
have to store them in your synth by MIDI, yes. Use the AN1x editor or 
MIDIox, a basic but useful freeware.
I can forward you some sound banks if i remember where they are...
BUT the most exciting thing on an "analog" instrument is to experiment 
with the knobs and pots to discover what does an oscillator, a filter 
resonance, the different filter slopes and VCO waveforms.... and to 
taylor your own sounds. Do you have the manual ? OK, IMHO it cannot be 
regarded as a model, but it gives the essential "know how".
If you're not familiar with such instruments take your time to discover 
the limitations (10 note polyphony for ex.) and the exciting sounds of 
this synth. Very under rated, it is not as famous as the Nord Leads or 
other Viruses, but very powerful and with some outstanding features like 
the free E.G. or the step sequencer.
Cheers.
J.F.
