Oh, you betcha!

One of my favorite ways to play the XL-7 is with a little Yamaha 
keyboard from a few years back that I got used for $100. It has 4 
octaves and lovely touch sensitvity and good mod wheels, PLUS it has 
stereo speakers.  It's about the size of a computer keyboard, and I 
imagine it was designed for home computer users.  

Anyway, I plug the midi from the keyboard into the XK-7, take the 
sound out of the XL-7 and put it into the Yamaha's line in, and 
disable the local playing of notes on the Yamaha.  I play the Yamaha, 
holding it in my lap in my comfy chair (yeah, this goes against all 
those posture lessons I had with piano) and the XL-7 off to one side.
