Need help...Live 5.0 pattern sequencing an RS7000 with sysex

Hi there,

Here's what I need to do. I play live with a Yamaha RS7000 and Ableton live. I want to trigger the "patterns" on the RS7000 using Sysex commands from Ableton. Those commands need to be assigned / triggered in Ableton by several computer keyboard strokes. This is really wierd but here's why.

I am using a Guitar Hero PS2 controller over USB to trigger computer keyboard stokes. I translate the keyboard to midi in Ableton then send it out to the RS7000.. By this I mean Guitar Hero>Ableton Live>RS7000. What I need to do using ABleton is to assign any keyboard command to send a specific sysex command instead of note data to the RS7000.

whew.....I think thats it

d'oh I'm OSX no PC. The only app that might do what I want is Pogue Bidule.

I found a fine application called Controllermate to program my hotkeys and all that. What I really need to know is how to make Ableton send sysex data when specific events happen. I bet Bidule could do it but I'm wondering if I can do it natively in OSX and Ableton. Its not an end all, as I could just use pattern keys on the RS7000, but I want to shred with the guitar!
