You certainly seem to be doing some interesting stuff Jammie. I used to have briefly a DSM1,sorry I hated it nowhere near as good as the DSS-1 no delay's and no analogue filters as standard without f**king about with it (I''m no circuit bender sadly) sorry I love the digital wave stuff but I'm still a tart when it comes to analogue filters and the floppy on the DSM1 was a c**t. no wonder everybody and his wife bought an Akai. I think I may have Turbosynth.... also you can do some interesting stuff with Steinberg Avalon (Atari again). Sorry for truncated response my football team Norwich are on match of the day in a moment which I want to watch, they beat Arsenal for the first time at Carrow Road in 28 years today.
