Gary, congrats on the Plugstation. Hope it proves to be a success for
you and Kenton...and Yamaha too.

I'm pleasantly surprized they - Yamaha - bought into the concept. Did
they subsidize the r&d? Did Kenton and you have to reverse engineer
the PLG design or is the spec something Yamaha openly licenses?

Err....no comment....other than the PLG spec is not openly licensed :-)

The CS6x, S30 and S80 appear to fall under the category of 'commercial
success' so can we expect Yamaha to perpetuate further PLG boards and
PLG capable hosts?

Yes...the current range of available PLG cards (VH, DX, VL, AN, PF) are only
the first batch from Yamaha. We will be seeing many more cards in the
future!

IMO, an update to XGedit would definitely fall under the 'value added
service'. Bet your users would love it!

Yep...but as I said...its a case of finding the time. Really I hadn't
planned to update XGedit further until I could move it over to the new MIDI
Plugin format I am working on. However I may try to find time to incorporate
Plug station support....if only because it will be so damn useful :-)
