well right now i have my XL-7 driving just two pieces of kit - a Roland
XP-30 and an Alesis QS-R module.  in the recent past i've run more than six
modules off of it without any major problems. MIDI itself starts to choke on
things before my XL does. i'm not much of a CC tweaker (not a very good
player either - :-| ) but when i control external gear with the knobs (or
Reason) it seems to be fine. i've never had the XL actually lock up before.

i haven't really put an MC-505 through its paces, nor an MC-909, so i can't
really compare them. the MC-909 does have quite a fast processor for a
Roland unit, though - if it is anything like the Fantom S as far as
sequencing goes, it should be relatively crash free.
