Xpantastic!

Hi,

just my 2 cents before someone dives deeply into Xpander's SysEx
implementation and pull out his hairs...I'm currently doing it for the
single patch part (and only for that).
I did a check of a the spec for each parameters, and it has some
tricky bugs. I've written a command line software that dumps the
contain of a single patch sysex to show what'is in it. It's working
fine,but some tests have yet to be done (comparing what's on my PC and
what my XP shows is really a boring task...) I'll upload it in the
next days with the C/C++ source code and the updated MIDI Spec.

/Greg.
