Understood, though it's too late for me - I bought my Nord synths the 
same time I bought the XL-7 - price on both was too good to pass up.  
I did, however, put the Micromodular back in its box when I got the 
XL-7 Friday night and have left it in there ever since.  The G2 is 
still in its box unopened.  I had already decided as of that Friday 
night that those Nords are staying in their boxes until I get a 
really good handle on the XL-7.

If I follow your advice closely enough, I shouldn't sell my Logic 
Audio Big Box (which is, btw, unopened) and buy a replacement.  
Whether I sell it or not, I will need something to record multitrack 
audio sooner or later and I need MIDI sequencing software to follow 
rEALm's advice.
