As far as replacement DMX sounds, that's a waste of time IMO, they're almost indiscernable from each other. If the idea's to expand the sounds, better to get some alternate sound chips for it on ebay, then use a DX stretch with it if you want even more sound options.
The DX and DMX snare and bass sound pretty different to me, even with extensively tweaking the pitch controls in the back. I tried searching eBay but wasn't coming up with anything. I understand that the LinnDrum and a couple other machines used the same EPROMs? What might a good alternate eBay search query be for these chips?

The lack of MIDI isn't a deal breaker, but I wondered if there was another way to sync it without replacing it or doing any mods. For how I use it standalone operation can suffice.
