You could always do what I did:  just sell the shit, get rid of it.   I had
a CS6x with a PLG150AN and a PLG150PF card.   What a friggin' headache.
That's got to be one of poorest operating system and user interface designs
I've ever encountered.   Totally non-intuitive and non-musician-friendly.
And I'm not a chimp, either - I am literate about synthesizers and
computers.  I've been dealing with midi synths for almost 20 years, and I
also work as a computer programmer.   I finally realized that I was wasting
my time on that shit, and needlessly frustrating myself.   I did myself a
favour and got rid of the whole thing.   From now one, some of my primary
rules are:  1) never buy a synth that needs expansion cards - if you're not
happy using it without expansions, don't buy it   2) avoid expansion cards
- proceed with extreme caution   3)  proceed with extreme caution where
Yamaha synths are concerned  4) make user-friendly operating system a
higher priority when buying synths.
