Dont get me wrong, I love the sounds in the xl-7. The bass sounds I 
can make are thick, floor ripping madness that is still dynamic and 
expressive. The drums are expressive with a lot of range and punch. 
This is a rare and beautifull thing. I can understand how a poor 
listening system would hurt everything I like about the sound. There 
is real music there, not just noise compressed into rhytmic thumping.

The effects do not have the same feel to me. Perhaps I am setting 
them up wrong. To me the effects are always clean, accurate and but 
lack the characteristics that make things sound the way I want. They 
will add some air to things but I have not been able to bend them to 
my will.... yet. If the effects were as good and intuitive as the 
synth engine I might loose all control. For now, I use the flexible 
outputs to good use with outboard processing.
