Thanks J5 for the info... I ordered XGworks from zZounds today. And thanks to BP for the XGWorks info. BTW: do you know if XGWorks has an instrument file for the 9000 Pro ?

BTW: I use Sonar 2.0 currently for tweaking my sequences into shape and it does a pretty good job of allowing me to pick sounds for my 9000 Pro (I found an instrument definition file on the web for the PSR9000 that works). It also allows me to set some basic effects parameters. I expect XG Works to allow me to do some deeper XG programming, especially as it relates to EQ and insertion effects, plus use some of the expansion board editors that came with my PLG boards.

If anyone here knows of anything better than XG Works for XG sequencing, I'd like to hear about it...
