My situation is kind of strange, in that I don't intend to use the sounds of the TX81Z as my final product, but more as my "scratch pad". The main instruments I need to hear are bass, melody, and piano (the latter probably only requires only three voices or so). For the drums I can use a VST if necessary.

My main problem is that I want to hear the microtuned instruments with a variety of different styles, and if I use VSTs, I have to reload the VST and the preset every time I change styles. My plan is that when I find a style I like with the TX81Z I can then change the sounds to VSTs in my final draft.

I have the opportunity to buy a used TX81Z for $100, but I don't even want to spend $100 if it won't work well with BIAB. If it can be setup to play various styles with generic sounding patches but I don't have to change the presets every time I change the style, I think I could live with that.
