I would skip on the techno board- the loops are useless and all the vocoded sounds are a valuable waste of PCM ROM. Look at the fantastic hip hop board instead, and/or try to find an older Roland Dance card or module. These 2 latter offerings are excellent. I own the Techno board and would have gotten rid of it ages ago if I could recover the amount I paid for it (so I'll keep it because this won't happen!!!!).
