Yeah I had feeling it was Yamaha's fault...  lets all complain to them!    I do understand why they would have no interest in making an editor available on osx for a synth that came out in 1997.  But come on...  im sure a lot of an1x owners would use it.

    At the time, there was no OS X, and there certainly weren't any
    Intel-based Macs (except perhaps in Cupertino).
