This is good news, congrats.

For the benefit of anybody who was following the previous thread before we took the
discussion offline - the MOTU USB OMS driver for their USB MIDI Interfaces can be installed
under Classic within OS X (Panther) using the FreeMIDI 1.48 installer. The FreeMIDI
installer can still be had from the MOTU Downloads page.

You can use AN1xEdit to communicate with your PLG150-AN by placing it into PLG150AN
Mode - this setting is found under the Setup menu item. You might want to review the
AN1xEdit Help file for the sections 'Using the PLG150AN' and 'FileTypes and Voice Data.'

However, I'm fairly certain you can only Send Voices to the PLG1150-AN, not Request
them. This was a desing limitation on the part of Yamaha, not the software editor/
librarians.
