Not to be argumentative but again, Yamaha may have discontinued all international sales of XGWorks English Version but they are still producing XGWorks Japanese version (Currently at Version 4) and have a huge market for it over here in Japan. The Japanese version comes in a big heavy box with (I assume) a fully bound manual so I was dissappointed to hear about the PDF manual in the English Version box. But then again XGWorks 4.0 Japanese retails for about $300.00 over here. Then again Cakewalk Sonar is almost 3 times as much.
I just got confirmation on the shipping of my copy of XG Works 3 from Zzounds so I'm satisfied. :-D
Cheers,
