Actually, Artiprog is the editor, the device is an Artiphon:Instrument1.
But that's just being picky.

I don't understand why pending samples should be a problem. I've had a
Korg X5DR for years, that is
a sample-based synth module and it bends pitches just how I expect. I'm
not expecting it to produce
a perfect rendering of the sounds, something that sounds like a fretless
bass is all I'm asking for.

I guess I'll have to hack around and see what alternatives I can find.
