I agree - I sold mine and got a beat garden. However, make sure you download
the extra TSCY presets from Rob Papen's site.

 i bought the techhno synth rom last week (2nd hand), but i have to say i'm
a
 bit disappointed..
 i't got a lot of useable techno-sounds (chords especially), but also lots
 and lots of kind of old fashioned sounds as well as a lot of percussion
 sounds that all seem to be variations of 909 samples. compared to the XL-7
 or Mo Phatt rom i think it's kinda weak and one-dimensional. only a couple
 of presets get my inpsiration going (like a lot of the XL-7 sounds do (by
 the way did you hear the new Ken Ishii album? I'm sure he has an XL 7 or
 otherwise maybe Xtreme lead too)

 having said that, I've only played with the techno synth ROM for a day or 3
 ad it might be that I'll discover all kind of hidden treasures, and maybe
 have to dive a bit deeper into the sounds to make them suit my own
 style/sound/emotions
 best thing seems to be to hear the sounds yourself in a shop or whatever..

 cheers, Quazar, Amsterdam
