> For now it's just the PX-7 straight to Kontakt running under Ableton straight from the CS's sequencer, and beats coming from the SP.  All my voices are from the Emulator II+ recorded as waves.   I think I am living in the dark ages, but that's cool.  It works for me!

Whatever floats your goat ;-)

Right now I'm tied to DAW if I want to sync my machines, since Unitor
is a bit gestapish in determining the MIDI clock source - the device
has to send MTC Song Start and then clock, that makes Unitor happy.
Unfortunately KS5 doesn't send Song Start, while SY77 doesn't send
MIDI Clock (afaik), and I'm still waiting for my XL7 to come (happily
owning P2K tho). But I feel more and more inclined to *play*, record
it with MIDI, and then tweak. I used to switch from synths to DAW,
back and forth, but that's just waste of time.

I would, however, wholeheartedly recommend you to dedicate one weekend
for MIDI. It can be a huge productivity booster, once you find your
paths thru it, and it can give strong foundations (as well as
finishing shine) for your live creation.
