I can help you a little with the 9000. If you don't already have it, Get Michael p Bedesem's freeware style maker for PSR. Great little piece of software. It has functions that automatically allow you to properly set up SYSEX / CASM events, ( Casm parameters can also be modified manually ) and a pitch correction function to bring all the notes into the CM7 scale ( in case your working on / modifying an existing a piece that isn't in CM7 ). It will help you place markers within your sequencer as well, which is nice if you don't have premade templates (
you don't have to type each one out ).
The software is called " Stylemaker ", and is available at
