yeah, you can run lots of stuff, I'm sure it worked best if you held down one key when you were turning it on to turn it into a regular synth rather than an extra funky one. Then you could send it bank and patch messages to get the right sounds and the front panel did nothing.

On the down side it only had L and R outputs... in the end I just sampled all the drums off it one day and loaded them into a sampler instead.
