You can get XGworks and XGEdit from Yamaha UK. If you're in the US, several dealers sell XGworks for around $79 - look on the net. XGEdit is compact with a single screen but you can't access the whole synth in the 2k - you only get 3 DSPs. With XGworks you can get all 5 DSPs and all the instruments but to make it work properly with the 2k you need my updates. I sent them to Nigel but I don't know where he keeps them. You can download them from Jorgen's website at home7.inet.tele.dk/js/musik/740pages/ . Look under PSR software and find the XGworks updates. The big advantage with XGworks is that it's a powerful sequencer in its own right and has an auto arranger and a style generator in which you can also use your 2k styles.

Star, you can use any old computer as sending sysex is at midi speed - 31250 bps. Or you can use the "to host" connection via the serial port at 38400 bps. I used XGworks and XGedit on my old P233 with no problem.
