Hi, I just ordered XG Works 3 from Zzounds today myself. I live in Japan and only the Japanese language version is available domestically.

What I wanted to add to this thread was that someone had mentioned that a new version of XG Works was coming out soon. I don't doubt that this is true but I DO know that XG Works 4.0 was just released in Japan and that that version will never be released in the US. I had a look at it and it doesn't seem very different from Version 3 at all.

I inquired to the Yamaha XP online shop in the UK about it and received this response in regards to Version 4:

>I am sorry, but XGworks 4.0 was released >for the Japanese market only and will not >be released in any other language.

>Best regards

So what someone in here said about the new version being called 5 is probably right on target. But since everything that is eventually released overseas by Yamaha is initially released domestically and Version 4 JUST came out I am dubious that Version 5 will be out in an English version anytime soon.

I've used the XG Works 3 demo and I love the program so I'm really looking forward to my full version. I use it with a an MU-100 tone generator.

Cheers,

Grizzly
