Bluebird, I fail to see how you can gain that specific conclusion from the information posted here. Any midifile containing XG will play on a Yamaha keyboard that is itself XG compatible.
On the other hand, if what you meant was "So .... You cant make a midifile ON A XG-LITE KEYBOARD SUCH AS THIS ROLAND that will use the XG voices on a Yamaha XG Keyboard" I would tend to agree that this seems to be the case if you cannot select the XG-Lite voices from the front panel. You might be able to edit the voice parameters in the recorded song file, however - would this give access to the XG-Lite voices?
I downloaded XG-Edit yesterday and tried out what the EXR-5 would do if I told XG-Edit I had a XG-Level 1 device. And I found out that the EXR-5 "listens" to XG-Edit where it comes to selecting sounds. The display of the EXR-5 will then say for example "932 - XG TONE" (Remember: Sound number 932 is NOT EVER selectable on the EXR-5 itself!)
Conclusion: you can use the XG-sounds inside the EXR-5, only by using external sequencers or editors.
As for Bluebird's question: I haven't got the slightest idea what you mean. Sorry.
