The Logic Off Topic list

Hey, heres a better Idea! With all the OT traffic on the On Topic list-

leading to genuine enquiries about Logic Audio getting lost in the noise,
why not post logic related questions on the off topic list-
 in the hope of the enquiry getting noticed, and increasing the chance of an
answer?

Perverse "logic", I know, so here goes:-

I have an SW1000XG and logic Audio silver 3.6- (Windows)
brilliant card, brilliant sequencer, only trouble is...............
all the available environments do not work in LAWS, I use XG edit to control
the SW1K FX,
trouble is it does not seem to want to change or edit patches (MIDI sounds)
in a   Logic song.

My songs are primarily guitar/bass/ vocal/  midi drum based, with the
keyboardy stuff from the SW1K providing the odd flourish and weird sound!

However, rather than just use the 128 or so  Gen MIDI sounds, I'd like to be
able to select any of the SW sounds through a Logic enviro.

BTW, all the available enviro's (on the Yamaha CD, or on the various logic
web pages etc) DO NOT WORK with Silver 3.6, due to the limited
implementation of the environment in the Windows Silver version.

any ideas anyone? Please dont talk about "bank change mesages" or Sysex
thru, as this sort of talk is deeply scary to a midi phobic guitarist- I
just want to be able to select all the fab sounds that I can audition by
name in XG edit- and use them to create some very strange and totally
un-commercial music.

Cheers
