Yeah I had feeling it was Yamaha's fault... lets all complain to them! I do understand why they would have no interest in making an editor available on osx for a synth that came out in 1997. But come on... im sure a lot of an1x owners would use it.

It might be silly, but there's a good reason for it. Gary Gregson was contracted by Yamaha to write the editor for Windows and MacOS. At the time, there was no OS X, and there certainly weren't any Intel-based Macs (except perhaps in Cupertino).
The rights of the source code reside with Yamaha, so Gary can't publish them. He presumably also can't go and rewrite it for OS X and Intel, apart from the fact that Yamaha wouldn't pay for this port.
So: complain to Yamaha. They're the ones that are sitting on the source code and not doing anything with it.
