Subject: Re: EX-800 and sound-diver???

Well, you shouldn't get all upset about it. The Polys and the EX
were made loooooonnnnnnnggg before editing hardware via a PC was
common, especially non-sampling units. Most apps these days for
hardware made in the '80s and early '90s are user-created apps
anyway. Unless, of course, you want to dig up an old Atari system
and use that.

I'm sure others here have more relevant answers, however I wonder,
aside from triggering notes via MIDI, and possibly a SYSEX dump to
save patches, why you need an editor for the EX in the first place?
It's such an easy unit; sounds to me like more trouble to implement
an editor for it than it is just to reach over and punch a few
buttons.
