Do XG editors work on Motif XS synths?? I thought Motif XS was a superset of XG. If so, see http://old.nabble.com/qxgedit-0.1.0-2.rncbc.suse112.x86_64.rpm-on-Fedora12-to28336102.html <http://old.nabble.com/qxgedit-0.1.0-2.rncbc.suse112.x86_64.rpm-on-Fedora12-to28336102.html>FYI, here's some notes I took on the subject last night... I'm still trying to figure out what synths qxgedit can control. Can it control Motif's? the MU-100? MU-90XG? How about the QY series? MU-15?
