You could run XGedit on either machine to pick your voices.

Not totally wrong, you could just set the card as the default MIDI device in windows control panel and you'd have full access to all voices on one of the synths
(but only one, and with the SW1000XG having three how would you target the other two with only 16 channels available at your end, and no way to route them to synths 2 or 3?) and as long as all you did was send NRPN, sysex and patch/program data to it things would be fine, but it's once you bring XGEdit into the equation that things get messed up, since it re-routes all incoming MIDI traffic via a MIDI cable to one channel/voice no matter how you set it up, and no longer lets you use the card as an externally controlled multi-timbral synth, but since XG card drivers are multi-client you can get around the problem by mapping ports using MIDI-OX, and this gives you full multi-timbrality, access to all three synths and full control over all voices again.
