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.
