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
