I own XGWorks as well but only utilize it when I need to PRESERVE a Tyros/PSR keyboard created midi file's: auto-accompaniment 'CHORD NAMES', of which is required to properly trigger the vocal harmonizer's chord changes on playback.

When a Tyros/PSR keyboard created midi file is loaded into any other commercial sequencer (Cakewalk Sonar, etc), all Yamaha exclusive commands (sysEX commands begining with FF) are not only ignored, but when the midi file is subsequently re-saved, this critical data is lost forever. A listing of these Yamaha exclusive commands are listed on page 62 of the Tyros "Data List" manual.

I heard rumors quite a while back that Cakewalk was considering adding support (recognition) for these Yamaha Exclusive SysEX commands with a Sonar add-on plug-in. Anybody here know whether Cakewalk & Yamaha ever joined forces to implement this in Sonar? Thanks.
