After a period of complete silence, SoundQuest seems to wake up. 
Here's another reply.

Hello Maik,

	Michael may have promised you these modules for support 
sometime
in the last few years - Unfortunately he can no longer decide these
issues alone. For today's products, Sound Quest needs more than
documentation to develop an instrument module - We also need a unit of
the hardware as well. Currently, any manufacturers who are not willing
to facilitate this arrangement are left without support.

	I can assure you of pending support for TC Electronic G-Major,
Line 6 PODxt & Bass PODxt, Roland VC-1, V-Synth & XV-2020, Dave Smith
Evolver, Roger Linn Adrenalinn II and the entire line of Yamaha Motif 
&
Motif ES machines. These manufacturers have already supplied the
hardware and work is well underway on plug-in caliber interfaces and
SysEx drivers.

	I have personally spent the last two years requesting hardware
from E-mu on behalf of their users who want editor/librarian support,
but unfortunately they are not interested in any of their "legacy"
hardware users anymore and recently told me that they were "sold out" 
of
every last model they once made- You will notice they only make 
Creative
sound cards these days.

	We will approach Jomox and Novation to see if they are
interested in entering in a co-development arrangement with us. 
Perhaps
these two instruments will be added to the module list.

	Best regards,
