Good points.  My other synths are a Nord Micromodular and a Nord
Modular G2, both of which come with their own editors.  So I'd only be
using Unisyn for the XL-7, which would indeed make Unisyn not worth
the money for me.

I have to use Mac OS 9 too, actually, because of the Micromodular.

I'm still learning my way around the XL-7 (damn, what a DEEP machine!)
so I'm not absolutely sure I need to pay $180-$250 for a pretty
graphical editor.  I started thinking about whether I need one when I
realized E-Loader doesn't come with an editor/librarian.
