I can't reply to Ralph Berg, who asked about programming for the Cazio CZ1
with XOR:

XOR is a generic patch editor that runs in Dr. T's KCS Multi-Programming
Environment (MPE).  It can also be run as a standalone program.  As I
understand it, XOR uses modules that describes the programming requirements
for a given synth, and then uses a generalized interface to allow that
programming.  Feedback from the synth category was very favorable to XOR
over other available packages. I like the idea of going to XOR since it        s
supports a lot of synths, some of which are not exactly popular models.        .

If you're not familiar with Dr. T's, they write a lot of midi software that
may not always have the greatest flexibility right off the bat, but are well
supported in upgrades, and are reasonably priced.  I've stayed with the KCS
through 4 upgrades now, and with Tiger and Level II, have an extremely
powerful sequencer environment that supports the functioning of many external
programs; last night I figured how to initiate other GEM programs from
within the KCS so that I don't have to reload my sequencer configuration
just to get to my all-important Daleks game...
