I say sell it.  the MnM was not designed for those who never want to
touch or look at it and simply want its sound.  its an instrument,  
nothing
less.

I hate to say it and I mean no personal offense but seriously you just
sound like a lazy musician here.  you're not willing to work outside
your box even just a little bit to gain access to a sound that you
admittedly want in your arsenal.  and that, my friend, is precisely
what the MnM designers had in mind when they made it - results
that you didn't intend when you first started working with it.

I mean, there are times when I do the same as you and just sequence
it from my computer (using Live).  that's fun to do.  but I've spent  
time with
it and gave it a chance and learned the interface.  so now even when
I'm sequencing from a DAW I'd much rather edit it from its encoders
than edit a soft synth with my mouse.  there's simply no comparison.
if you believe that there is than seriously man, it's just not the  
synth for you.

sell it and hope that some day Elektron teams up with TC and
we get a Powercore MnM sound module!  :-D
