Re: new xl-7 owner, major problems

So, I just got done listening to your set, Realm.  All I have to say 
is DAMN.  This PA is definitely dripping with style, and I can tell 
you are pushing your gears' limits to the max.  my fav. part of the 
set is the fact that you transition between so many different styles 
in such a smooth way.  And the way you have your sounds mixed and 
panned comes through excellently over my monitors.  Out of the whole 
set, there was like 1 minute that I didn't like.  Most PA's I hear I 
have to skip like half the set, so great job!

I would like to hear more, and of course I will be posting shameless 
plugs here when I get my next set recorded with the xl-7 :)  I think 
I am going to sit down with this thing and try to explore the synth 
architecture, which seems pretty deep with all these virtual patch 
cord modulation options and whatnot ;)
