[ddots-l] accessible sysex? + my thoughts on the Novation X-Station

Hi,
Apparently I can store my Novation X-Station sounds using a Sysex program.
Before I go fishing for sysex programs, does anyone know of a
good/accessible sysex program?
 
By the way, I think the Novation X-Station is a good virtual analog
synthesizer with it's  realtime knobs, faders, effects a joystick effect
controller and an effect touch pad + the X-Station can be used as a  midi
controller and a 2 channel audio controller allowing you to use the built in
X-Station effects.  
It's not perfect but dam it's fun!
 
 
There are only 200 synth patch banks, meaning that when you create a new
sound you have to write over an existing sound unless you have the original
sound backed up on a sysex program.
 
The X-Station came out in 2005 but there isn't really anything else like it.
I know, because I've been looking.  If you find anything as versatile, with
as many dedicated knobs and faders, amazing overall feel, let me know.
 
I bought the Microkorg Xl and took it back before the 30 days was up.  It's
okay but only 3 assignable knobs and the effects are weak although the
vocoder was fun.  So, I recorded a vocoder based track and took the
Microkorg back.  I mean how many vocoder based tracks can ya record right?
 
So, please sen me the name of a good/accessible sysex program if you know of
one.
 
Thanks,
Stacy
