Yes, I all know this.
But would be so good to use the XL7 standalone.
With all the drum sounds, it screams for those effects.

And there are only 2 sub outs. Not speaking about the
convenience of having a comp on the bus, and being able
to send to it = insert or parallel compression.
Would be just so much verstile.

The XL7 is a synthesizer, an instrument, so it's effects complement the 
synthesis of the sound.  The effects you speak of are recording effects.  Check 
your audio recording setup for these......if you have a software based DAW, they 
are in the VST/Dxi effects......if you have a digital hardware recorder, they 
are part of the recording effects section of the recorder.....if you have 
something else or are not recording, use the inserts of your mixing board. 
Lastly, the inserts of the XL-7 are helpful if you have no other way to send the 
audio to effects, but in most situations, if the XL-7 is your only synth, you 
can put an outboard effects processor in-line with the XL-7 outputs to get 
dynamics processing.  There are many digital solutions,make sure they do have 
dynamics processing because only about a quarter do.  I have an analog solution, 
a quad compressor limiter and a quad noise gate that are outboard that I can 
patch in when I need it.....

As much ai I love my XL7 I still miss proper dynamics section from the FX.
Compressor/limiter, gate, expander?
Is there a flexible and more or less comprehensive solution?
Only the 2 sub-outs? That's way less... :(
