Hey, Bryan. Did he say anything about upgraded from the es editors? If not,
I am prepared to shell out the cash, but it would be cool if there was an
upgrade path from the es versions.

Subject: [MoAccess] Motif XS Editors are Coming
Hi everyone.
After a lot of work and some help from Yamaha, John Melas will be releasing
version 1.0 of his editors for the Motif XS on the 17th of this month. This
will include the voice editor, performance editor, master editor, mix
editor, mix syncronizer plug in for Sonar, and the librarian.
We're still working to get Yamaha to address a few small bugs in how the XS
responds to some of the SysEx commands that it receives, so a very tiny
number of features won't be available until Yamaha fixes the bugs.
However, 99% of everything works.
Also, while the programs are fairly accessible as-is, I will be releasing a
set of Jaws scripts to improve accessibility further. I'll explain more
about this later on, but basically John has had to use some non-standard
Windows controls in order to have the program behave in the best way
possible. For example, the controls that change values can let you type
numbers, use the arrow keys, or, in some cases, actually press keys on the
XS when focused on the computer control to set things like velocity or key
values. The basic Windows controls aren't able to do that sort of thing. His
custom controls will still be controlable from the keyboard, but they won't
speak automatically because, to a screen reader, they still seem as if
they're some strange custom control. My script package will cause the
editors to speak important values automatically, and will provide other
tutorial prompts to help you find your way around the hundreds of controls
available in these editors. I was thinking about charging a small amount for
the scripts, but I've decided to give them to the community as-is. If I
charged, I'd need to use a serial number system, and that would lock the
scripts to a particular copy of Jaws. Rather than put everyone through that,
I'd ask that, if you think the scripts are useful, that you please consider
donating about $10 to the site.
I'll post more info about the scripts at a later point. However, I wanted to
let everyone know that you will have the editors in less than two weeks.
Pricing has not been firmly set, but will probably cost around $120 for the
complete package.
Bryan
