QmidiCtl has been primarily designed for the Maemo enabled handheld devices, namely the Nokia N900 and also being promoted to the Maemo Package repositories. Nevertheless, QmidiCtl may still be found effective as a regular desktop application as well.

Have you ever tried your XG editor on one of the gazillions of Yamaha PSR or DGX keyboards?
Or one of their older XG rackmount synths? Seems to be a lot of yamaha's in use out there.
A quick google of yamaha psr sysex turned up
