Any way to do this in sysex or AN1XEdit? I can set up my XG equipment 
with an actual scale chart in XGWorks, trying to see if I can do JI5 
on the AN1x.

Anybody know?

Thanks, Pablo

Don't believe so, no.

Does XGWorks actually load a microtuning table into your XG devices or is simply 
remapping MIDI Notes to the alternate tunings output from the XGWorks sequencer?

What XGWorks has is a scale table for each Channel voice. So, you can 
adjust the scale (each of the twelve western tones from C to B) in 
cents to match JI5. Match, within 1 cent at least... Then, when you 
play Midi-in with a keyboard, you will be able to play the scale 
realtime. I use this to set up an MU128 for realtime JI5.

I'm just wonderring if the AN1X had some type of back door XG-type of 
adjustment you could do...

Also, I'm wonderring if I buy a PLG150-AN for my Motif, will the 
Motif tuning menu also control the tuning of the PLG?

The AN1x is not an 'XG Compatible' device from the standpoint that 
the soundset complies with the XG standard. Furthermore, it does not 
offer the built in microtuning tables that are found on many other 
instruments. However, your description of the Scale Table in XGWorks 
is much as I expected - I don't see why it couldn't be applied to a 
non-XG instrument as readily as a XG module. Perhpas I've 
misunderstood...I know Cubase offers a similar function and there was 
a related discussion on the Logic Users list some months ago - 
although I've not made use of this in either program.

I don't know the answer but would suggest you check the forums at 
www.motifator.com
