Hi Jon,
on re-reading some of the posts, I don't think the guys actually said that what you're wanting to do wouldn't work with xg works ( please correct me if I'm wrong anyone )?? ie if all you'r wanting to do is record a sequence ( midifile ) in your pro, then load it into xgworks for editing, then save it and be able to play it back in your pro.
XG eworks doesn't have a voicing table specifically for the pro, but if you wanted to change voices on tracks, you probably could do it manually with program & bank changes ( data in your manual).
Just find the instrument that most closely matches the instruments in your pro. You'd probably be missing some drumsets and a few instruments, but you could probably edit those in manually.

It's been years since I've had anything to do with sysex messages. I used to have to edit them years back when I was using a midi patch bay with a number of sound modules, but nowadays having just the one instrument, when they pop up, I just ignore them, as everything usually seems to work ok.

I actually have both programs , each has it's pro's and cons for editing. I don't actually use them for recording songs in realtime, I mainly use them for revoicing the odd midifile, but mainly I used to use them for editing styles.

I haven't actually worked out, do you already own xg works ? if not give the pg music demo a try. The reason I mentioned the midi link up is , that I'm pretty sure power tracks won't allow you to save in demo program, most demo programs won't.


best wishes
Rikki
