The world rom is mostly drums and percussion, maybe not the best source 
for devising unique new sounds.
Also very difficult to find.  The orchestral roms might give you some 
sounds that are different from soft synths, and still have some 
potential for mangling.
But really for experimenting with sound design, by the time you're 
finished screwing with the sound, there's not much difference between
starting with an oboe and starting with a square wave.
I find that the XL-7 excels for bread-and-butter stuff - synth and 
instrument sounds, polyphony, sequencing and arpeggiating, nice panel 
controls for real time..
For sound design, if you don't like soft synths I would recommend a Nord 
Modular G2.

Best place to find demos of sounds is probably asking here on the list, 
maybe someone can volunteer to do a few.
