The Pro series can access all of the instruments.  You need to bank 
select to get beyond the standard GM voices.  If you have a computer 
driving the DC7Pro, this is easily done with most sequencers.  I am not 
sure you can do this with the attached controller by itself.  I looked 
into this once myself and couldn't figure out how to do it.
