The editing features on the unit itself are rather primitive,
certainly compared to sequencing software. It depends what you need.

If you're concerned about the base sound sets, you can always add
other sound ROM's.

I would expect that you'll find effects processing at least as
important as the sound sources. The XL-7 is a little weak in terms of
effects.
