Cs1x Editor For Os X

Hi All,
Does anyone know of OSX editing software for the Yamaha CS1x (the blue cheese)? I kinda doubt it, I've searched high and low and found nothing. So if the answer is a resounding NO, I was wondering about the possibility/massive headache of porting it from OS9 to OSX... I know you're probably all saying, "Just open up Classic, you lazy bastard!" But all of my other apps are in OSX and it seems a waste to have to start up OS 9 and slow my machine down, just to make new patches in a relatively simple (at least it seems to be) little program. Alright, enough yammering.
Thanks,
Joe

Midi Sampler Question

So, I'm totally new with the whole MIDI thing. Been using mostly analogue keyboards etc. It's gotten to the point where I just can't take all this stuff to shows anymore. So I'm thinking about getting a sampler (AKAI S2000, EMU ESI2000 something like that).

Here's my question, can I, using MIDI, run two keyboards into one sampler (with only one MIDI input) and play different parts on them? Do I need some sort of MIDI mixer?

Basically what I'm trying to do is replace a main keyboard with piano/string type sounds and a little MOOG synth, which I play during different parts of the same song. The idea being that I don't want to switch out MIDI ins for two separate controllers duing the middle of a song.

As I said, I'm completely new to this, so please be gentle.

Thanks in advance for the help.
