Hello Nathan; According to the manual (which might be out of date for supercomps like the G4) you can connect the X5D to a Mac using the optional AG-002 cable. ($25 in music stores up here in Canada.) (I've heard that this cable is no more than a mini-din Mac printer cable.) ~~~~~~~~~~ As for the Mac X5D editor and PCIF drivers, you can download them here: http://www.korg.co.uk/downloads/x505dl.htm I'm sure you can also get them (and a whole world of X5D info) at Korgy Park - the mothership for all X5D Korgies: http://cc.joensuu.fi/~jsimonen/korgypark.html ~~~~~~~~~~ As I mentioned in a previous listing, I have a spare X5D manual (in French) that I'm trying to give away before I have to chuck it out. Even though it's in french, you can still make sense of about 50% of it because of all the graphics. Might be better than nothing, until Korg comes out with the PDF version. E-mail me if you want it.
